The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of irregular migrants who arrived in the UK since 2020 have (a) previous criminal convictions and (b) subsequently obtained a criminal record.

We are committed to delivering justice for victims and safer streets for our communities. Foreign nationals who commit crime should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and, where appropriate, we will pursue their deportation, and they will be swiftly removed from the country.
