Sexual Offences: Foreign Nationals

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 30 July 2025UIN 66373

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of sex offenders serving a custodial sentence in prison are foreign nationals, broken down by nationality.

Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin

In line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, we are unable to provide the requested information at this time, as doing so would disclose a subset of data which is currently intended for future publication by the Ministry of Justice.

Data on the number of Foreign National Offenders in prison by offence group is due for publication on 31 July 2025 in the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly.
