Deportation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to his comments during the Times Radio interview on 29 April 2026, if he could provide a breakdown of the people deported by (a) number and (b) country.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The Home Office publishes data on returns in the ‘Immigration System Statistics quarterly release’. Data on returns from the UK, broken down by enforced returns (of which ‘deportations’ is a legalised subset) and nationality can be found in table Ret_D01 of the ‘Returns detailed datasets’.
Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
