The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost of private security contractors used in deportations has been in each of the last five years.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office uses its Escorting and Related Services Contract with Mitie Care and Custody to effect Returns of persons with no right to remain within the UK. The costs of this contract are routinely published as part of the Home Office Transparency data, and can be found at Home Office spending - GOV.UK.
