Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many requests for revocation of a deportation order her Department has received in each of the last 10 years.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The information you have requested regarding the revocation of deportation orders is not available from published statistics.

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.

The Home Office only deports those with no legal right to remain in the UK, including foreign national offenders. Individuals are only deported to their country of origin when the Home Office and, where applicable, the Courts deem it is safe to do so.

A person who is subject to a deportation order can apply to the Home Office for revocation of the order. Such an application must be made from outside of the UK after the person has been deported. Revocation of a Deportation Order does not entitle the person concerned to re-enter the United Kingdom; it renders them eligible to apply for admission under the Immigration Rules.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure that the proposed deposit return scheme has adequate collection zones in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The regulations set rules requiring all supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores and newsagents that sell drinks that are in the scheme to host a return point, unless they qualify for an exemption.

UK DMO is responsible for ensuring there is a comprehensive network of return points so that consumers are easily able to return their containers, including in rural areas.

The DMO will undertake regular reviews of the return point network to consider the number, location and accessibility of return points.
