Deportation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how the figure of nearly 70,000 removals of individuals with no right to remain has been verified and broken down by category of removal.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Home Office publishes data on returns in the ‘Immigration System Statistics quarterly release’. Data on the number of returns by return type since July 2024 can be found in table Ret_D01 of the ‘Returns detailed datasets’.
The data show since July 2024 there have been 67,200 enforced and voluntary returns, of which 16,500 were enforced returns and 50,700 were voluntary returns.
