Offenders: Deportation
(asked on 10th November 2014) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of appeals lodged by foreign national offenders against their removal from the UK were based wholly or in part on (a) Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and (b) human rights grounds in each of the last five years.
Data on unsuccessful appeals against deportation is only held at the level of coordinated paper case files or within the notes section of the Case Information Database (CID). Such data is not aggregated in national reporting systems, which would mean these questions could only be answered through a disproportionately expensive manual case search to collate the data.
