Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many unauthorised Cross Channel migrants have been returned to France in each year since 2012.

The Home Office publishes statistics on the number of returns from the UK in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’ on gov.uk. The latest data on returns from the UK by return destination country are published published in table Ret_D02 of the 'Returns Detailed Tables' on gov.uk which can be broken down by return type group. The latest data go up to the end of March 2022.

The data are for all returns from the UK. We do not publish information on method of entry for the returnee i.e. if they are migrants who crossed the channel.
