Offenders: Deportation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders were removed from the United Kingdom in each of the last five years.
Answered by Alex Norris
Since this Government came to power almost 10,000 foreign national offenders (FNOs) have been returned, an increase of 36%, and we will continue to do everything we can to remove these vile criminals from our streets.
The number of FNOs returned is published by the Home Office in the Immigration Systems Statistics quarterly release. These returns are published in the Returns Summary Tables, Year Ending March 2026, and the Returns Detailed Datasets, Year Ending March 2026, which are available at: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK. The latest data is to March 2026.
