Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been wrongfully (a) detained, (b) deported, (c) denied British citizenship and (d) denied a passport on application in each of the last six years.

Information on the number of people wrongfully deported and detained is set out in Sir Philip Rutnam’s letters to the Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP, dated 14 May 2018 and 25 June 2018 that are deposited in the House Library.

Information on individuals wrongfully denied a passport and British citizenship in the last 6 years is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
