Offenders: Deportation
(asked on 26th February 2025) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Foreign National Offenders are awaiting deportation.
This question was answered on 6th March 2025
The requested data is not available in reportable form, but I can confirm that all Foreign National Offenders (FNOs) are referred to the Home Office for deportation consideration immediately following sentencing.
This Government has worked tirelessly to increase the return of those FNOs; between 5 July 2024 and 31 January 2025, there were 2,925 enforced and voluntary returns of FNOs. This is an increase of 21% compared to 2,422 FNO returns in the same period 12 months prior.
