Dear Raquel Amador,

 

I refer to your two applications for access to information submitted on 11
March 2021 and our interim reply of 19 March 2021.

 

The population and admission figures pertaining to the sites and buildings
concerned are outside the purview of the Immigration Department.  The
Immigration Department thus does not have the requested information and
statistics.
