The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people are in the total absconder pool of foreign national offenders for which the latest data is available.

Answered by Alex Norris

The information requested is not currently available from published statistics.

Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the code of practice for statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data.
