The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 19 May 2026 to Question 901 on Repatriation: Syria, how many returning foreign fighters have been a) arrested and b) prosecuted under criminal and terrorism offences since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Information on returning foreign fighters who have been arrested and prosecuted is not held, as this is not a category recorded in the data held by the Home Office. Relevant statistics on arrests, outcomes and stop and search under the Terrorism Act 2000 are published quarterly by the department.
