Offenders: Deportation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average time spent in prison was for a foreign national offender before deportation in (a) 2015, (b) 2016 and (c) 2017.

Answer

Providing the information requested would require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.

The Home Office do however routinely publish quarterly figures on the average length of time it takes foreign national offenders to be deported following completion of their custodial sentence. Figures for the latest quarter can be found by accessing the following link:
