Offenders: Deportation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of foreign national offenders serving prison sentences have been transferred to prison in their country of origin in each of the last five years.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The table below shows the number of foreign national offenders removed under prisoner transfer agreements in each year since 2020, including 2024 to date:
2020 | 81 |
2021 | 73 |
2022 | 50 |
2023 | 33 |
2024 | 74 |
As the number of foreign national prisoners is constantly changing, it is not possible to represent the above figures as a proportion of the total.
