Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been deported by country of destination on each day this year.

The Home Office publishes data on individuals who are returned from the UK as a part of the “Immigrations Systems Statistics Quarterly Release”. The total number of enforced returns of individuals by destination can be found in table Ret_D02 of the “returns detailed datasets”. The Home Office publishes this data quarterly, with the latest data up to the end of June 2024. Data for July to September 2024 will be published in November 2024. The Home Office does not publish daily returns of individuals.

Deportations are a specific subset of enforced returns which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person’s removal from the UK is conducive to the public good. The deportation order prohibits the person returning to the UK until such time as it may be revoked. The Home office publishes data on enforced returns but not deportations.
