Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress the Government has made in returning foreign nationals to their own countries after they have completed a prison term in the UK.
Those who break our laws should be removed from the country at the earliest opportunity. In 2015/16, we removed 5,810 Foreign National Offenders (FNOs) from prisons, immigration removal centres and the community, the highest number ever. Over 33,000 FNOs have been removed since 2010.
