The Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration has commenced an inspection of juxtaposed controls.

The team will visit Border Force locations at Coquelles Eurotunnel terminal and Paris Gare du Nord Eurostar terminal in the coming weeks. The scope of this inspection will focus on the quality, including consistency and proportionality, of decision-making by Border Force staff in relation to the application of the Immigration Rules.

While this inspection was not included in my 2022-2023 inspection plan, my Plan does include scope for re-inspections or unannounced inspections to reflect in-year developments and areas of emerging interest.

The inspection team anticipate reporting to the Home Secretary by May.
