Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 3 February 2025 to Question 26777 on Undocumented Migrants: Repatriation, what the value is of the individual financial incentive offered to each person deported as a Verified Voluntary Return.

Guidance on the functioning of the Voluntary Returns Service is available on Gov.uk at this link: Get help to return home if you’re a migrant in the UK: Overview - GOV.UK. I can confirm to the Hon Member that this guidance has not changed since the current Government came to office.

The Home Office publishes all available information on returns expenditure in the Home Office Annual Report and accounts at Home Office annual reports and accounts - GOV.UK(opens in a new tab).
