PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Deportation (13 January 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the guidance on how to make a request for revocation of a deportation order will be republished; and if she will make a statement.

Asked by:
Sir Christopher Chope (Conservative)

The process of reviewing and revising the guidance is nearing completion, and I anticipate that an updated version will be made available in the Spring of 2016.

In the interim, current guidance covering various aspects of deportation order revocation can be found online as below:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-part-13-deportation - paragraphs 390-391 of the Immigration Rules set out the current rules for revocation of a deportation order, and how criminality impacts on this.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/chapter-13-criminality-guidance-in-article-8-echr-cases - where family and/or private life considerations are relevant to an application for revocation, this guidance explains how these are considered under Paragraphs 398-399D of the Immigration Rules.
