Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign national prisoners from each country were convicted of each offence type in the last year for which figures are available.
This question was answered on 25th November 2014
The numbers of foreign national prisoners from each country and the type of offence committed are in the table attached. Data has been provided as at 30 September for 2014, as this is the latest published data point.
Whereas this Government has begun to reduce the foreign national population in prison since 2010, between 1997 and 2010, the number of foreign nationals in our prisons more than doubled.
