Reoffenders: Foreign Nationals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 11 November 2024 to Question 13567 on Reoffenders: Foreign Nationals, how many reoffences were committed by foreign national offenders expressed as (a) one to five offences, (b) six to nine offences and (c) each total of reoffences at 10 and above.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
Data on the number of adult foreign national reoffenders who have committed 1-5 reoffences, 6-9 reoffences and 10+ reoffences can be found in the attached table.
We refer all foreign national offenders in receipt of custodial sentences to the Home Office. Those sentenced to 12 months, or more are automatically considered for deportation.
Foreign national offenders who commit crime should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and, where appropriate, we will work with the Home Office to pursue their deportation. This will help to manage prison pressures, keep the public safe and reduce crime. We are currently on track to remove more foreign national offenders this year than at any time in recent years and we are working across government to explore the ways we accelerate this work further.
