Borders: Personal Records
Chris Huhne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of passenger movements were tracked by the e-Borders Programme in each month of (a) 2007, (b) 2008 and (c) 2009. [306316]
Alan Johnson [holding answer 14 December 2009]: The e-Borders programme formally commenced in May 2009 and the current figure (when annualised) shows that we are now tracking over 100 million passenger movements through the UK border. This represents 45 to 50 per cent. of all passenger movements into and out of the UK (pending formal verification by statisticians).
Percentage figures for passenger movements were not recorded during the period in question, however the following tables show total numbers of passenger movements tracked for each month over the years 2007-09. These include the figures prior to May 2009, when the pilot project (Semaphore) was under development and testing.

Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when his Department plans to launch its 12-week consultation on the UK Border Agency's "Authority To Carry" scheme. [312911]
Mr. Woolas: The Government have committed to a full consultation period on the introduction of an Authority To Carry (ATC) scheme. This will be in advance of introducing regulations for approval, by each House of Parliament, on how any scheme would operate. No decisions have been made as to when this might take place.
In 2011, as part of the wider rollout of e-Borders, the capability to support a manual ATC process is expected to be delivered.
British Nationality: Northern Ireland
Mr. Gregory Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Nationality Checking Service to be available in Northern Ireland. [318063]
Mr. Woolas: Nationality Checking Service is undertaken by local authorities on a voluntary basis. To date, no local authority in Northern Ireland has opted to provide the service and when they do so is a matter for them.
Burglary
Mr. Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been (a) arrested for, (b) charged with and (c) convicted of aggravated burglary in (i) the Ribble Valley, (ii) Lancashire and (iii) England and Wales in each of the last five years. [315457]
Mr. Alan Campbell [holding answer 4 February 2010]: The arrests collection held by the Home Office covers arrests for recorded crime (notifiable offences) only, broken down at a main offence group level, covering categories such as violence against the person and robbery.
From these data it is not possible to separate specific offences therefore data on arrests for aggravated burglary cannot be provided.
Figures provided by the Ministry of Justice, showing the number of persons prosecuted and convicted for aggravated burglary offences in Lancashire, and England and Wales 2004 to 2008 (latest available) can be viewed in the table.
Figures for Ribble Valley are not separately identifiable from the data on prosecutions reported to the Ministry of Justice.
It is not possible to separately identify aggravated burglary from the information on arrests reported to the Home Office.
