The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many victims of modern slavery with a positive conclusive grounds decision have been (a) administratively removed or deported from the UK and (b) issued a notice of removal; and for how many was the notice of removal issued within 45 days of the person receiving a positive conclusive grounds decision.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office publishes data on returns Immigration System Statistics quarterly release(opens in a new tab) Data on returns from the UK, broken down by enforced returns (of which ‘deportations’ is a legalised subset) and Returns from the UK, by type of return can be found in table 'Ret 01', Returns detailed datasets(opens in a new tab).

However, the Home Office does not routinely publish the information you have requested on how many victims of modern slavery with a positive conclusive ground’s decision have been (a) administratively removed or deported from the UK, and (b) issued a notice of removal and for how many was the notice of removal issued within 45 days of the person receiving a positive conclusive grounds decision. We unable to provide this information, as it could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
