Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been deported to Togo in each of the last five years.

The number of enforced returns from the UK to Togo is published in table rt_05 (returns data tables, volume 5) in ‘Immigration Statistics, year ending March 2018’, available from the GOV.uk website at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-year-ending-march-2018-data-tables

The term 'deportations' refers to a legally-defined 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.

Information on those deported is not separately available but the published statistics refer to enforced returns. This includes deportations, as well as cases where a person has breached UK immigration laws, and those removed under other administrative and illegal entry powers who have declined to leave voluntarily.
