Written question asked by Stuart C McDonald (Scottish National Party) on Monday, 23 May 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 25 May 2016. It was answered by James Brokenshire (Conservative) on Monday, 6 June 2016 on behalf of the Home Office.
Migrants: Detainees
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people of each nationality were held in detention for over (a) six and (b) 12 months between 2005 and 2015 for the purpose of removal.
- Answer
-
The table attached shows the number of people removed on leaving detention, by nationality who were held for over six and over twelve months.
Published statistics relating to immigration detention are only available from 2010 onwards. It is not possible to provide pre-2010 figures and this information could be provided only by examining individual case records, which would result in disproportionate cost.
The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of people detained in the United Kingdom for immigration purposes, within the Immigration Statistics release on the GOV.UK website:
