PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Reoffenders: Foreign Nationals (11 November 2024)

Data on the reoffending rate of foreign national offenders, broken down by the crime category of the index offence, can be found in the attached table.

We refer all foreign national offenders in receipt of custodial sentences to the Home Office. Those sentenced to 12 months, or more are automatically considered for deportation.

Foreign national offenders who commit crime should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and, where appropriate, we will work with the Home Office to pursue their deportation. This will help to manage prison pressures, keep the public safe and reduce crime. We are currently on track to remove more foreign national offenders this year than at any time in recent years and we are working across government to explore the ways we accelerate this work further.
