Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders were removed from the UK in 2025-26.
Answered by Anna Turley - Minister of State (Home Office)
We are committed to delivering justice for victims and safer streets for our communities. Foreign nationals who commit crime should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and, where appropriate, we will pursue their deportation.
In the year ending March 2026, 5,949 foreign national offenders (FNOs) were removed from the UK. This is an increase of 14% compared to the 5,220 FNO returns in the same period 12 months prior (FNO returns include both enforced and voluntary returns).
Deportations and returns of FNOs have exceeded 11,000 (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2026)- up 41% on the last two years of the previous government. The monthly breakdown in FNO returns since July 2024 is published in ad-hoc transparency release, which can be found here: Returns from the UK between 1 July 2024 and 31 July 2026 - GOV.UK.

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment has been made of the contribution of Spaceport Cornwall's sustainability and outreach programmes to the Government's objective of a domestic orbital launch capability.
Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
Supporting STEM outreach contributes to building the future skills pipeline for space and STEM careers. During the G7 Summit held in Cornwall, UKSA provided £150,000 which engaged students through onsite visits and workshops at the Spaceport. Following the UK’s first launch from Spaceport Cornwall in January 2023, Government ran a ‘Space for Everyone’ campaign featuring a 72ft model of Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket, engaging over 160,000 young people across 13 locations.
The Government will continue to engage with Spaceport Cornwall as part of our commitment to securing assured access to space and supporting a competitive and resilient UK launch sector.
