No information about "immergration", says Treasury

The government has pointed out again it doesn't process illegal immigrants, after another Freedom of Information request on the subject.

The request, titled "immergration", asked for details about "coach loads and plane loads that have been coming in every week" to the Island.

It's the latest in a string of requests asking for the information.

In its response, the Treasury said it doesn't hold the information as it doesn't process immigration because the Island is in the common travel area - previous FOI responses show the UK deals with illegal migrants who have to remain in the UK while their claims are processed.

The government's also explained it hasn't been paid by the UK to take illegal immigrants, as doing so wouldn't follow immigration rules.
