Offenders: Deportation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to deport convicted violent foreign criminals.
Answered by Alex Norris
We are committed to delivering justice for victims and safer streets for our communities. Foreign nationals who commit serious crimes will face the full force of the law and be deported at the earliest opportunity.
This government has already removed almost 5,200 foreign national offenders in its first year of office, a 14 per cent increase on the previous twelve months (5 July 2024 to 4 July 2025) and we will continue to crack down on any foreign nationals who come to this country and break our rules.
