Written question asked by James Clappison (Conservative) on Monday, 21 January 2008, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 23 January 2008. It was answered by Liam Byrne (Labour) on Monday, 1 September 2008 on behalf of the Home Office.


Offenders: Deportation

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many foreign offenders who received a community sentence were (a) deported and (b) subject to administrative removal in each of the last five years.
Answer

The information requested can be obtained only through the detailed examination of individual casefiles at disproportionate cost. The chief executive of the UK Border Agency advised the Home Affairs Committee during her appearance of 15 January that, in most cases involving community sentences, the Agency would look to use administrative removal as the method of expulsion rather than deportation.
