The Home Office does not hold data on the number of private flights which have submitted general aviation reports on arrival rather than in advance. Border Force has the capability to identify flights which have not submitted Advance Passenger Information (API), which informs part of the risk assessment process. Where a flight does not submit API it will automatically be classified asHigh Priority, and will likely be met by a Border Force Officer.
The other requested data is not held centrally.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
