Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have had their Indefinite Leave to Remain status revoked by the foreign national offender returns command in each of the last five years.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

Data on numbers of revocations of leave to remain are not currently published.

The Home Office publishes data on returns of foreign national offenders (FNOs) in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on quarterly returns of FNOs by return type are published in tables Ret_D03 and Ret_D04 of the ‘Returns detailed datasets’. The latest data is for end September 2024. Data to end December 2024 will be released on 27^th February. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. Data on numbers of revocations of leave to remain are not currently published in these statistics, and could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

Deportations are a specific subset of returns which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person’s removal from the UK is conducive to the public good.

A deportation order requires an individual to leave the United Kingdom. It also prohibits them from re-entering the country for as long as it is in force and invalidates any leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom given to them before the Order is made or while it is in force.

Data on deportations are not currently published by the Home Office.
