Offenders: Deportation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing lifetime entry bans for deported foreign national offenders.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
A deportation order requires a person to leave the UK and prohibits them from lawfully entering the UK while it remains in force. The Home Office does not hold the requested data given that – by definition – anyone we know to be trying to enter the UK illegally will be refused entry.
