The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people without leave to remain were removed from the UK in each of the last five years.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The Home Office publishes data on returns in the ‘Immigration System Statistics quarterly release’. Data on returns can be found in Ret_01 of the ‘Returns summary tables’. This data goes up to September 2025 and includes only individuals who do not have valid leave to remain.
