(29 August 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign nationals have avoided deportation following criminal convictions due to the absence of a removal agreement with their country of origin.

Asked by:
Lewis Cocking (Conservative)

Answer

The specific information requested is not readily available from published statistics and could only be obtained for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

However, this government has already removed almost 5,200 foreign national offenders in its first year of office (5 July 2024 to 4 July 2025), a 14 per cent increase on the previous twelve months and we will continue to crack down on any foreign nationals who come to this country and break our rules.
