Offenders: Foreign Nationals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders were in the community as of 30 September 2025 by nationality.
Answered by Alex Norris
The latest published information can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK.
The information you have requested on the number of foreign national offenders (FNOs) living in the community split by nationality is not available from published statistics.
Any FNO convicted of a crime who receives a custodial sentence in the UK is referred to the Home Office for deportation consideration following sentencing.
Where removal is not immediately possible, electronic monitoring can be used to manage FNOs. We will pursue deportation action against individuals living in the community rigorously, actively monitoring and managing cases through the legal process and negotiating barriers to removal.
