Prisoners: Foreign Nationals
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign nationals held in the prison estate have previously been deported.
- Answer
-
The information requested is not available from published statistics.
Our Nationality and Borders Act became law in April 2022. A factsheet can be viewed here: Nationality and Borders Bill: factsheet - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The same act also amended legislation which means a foreign offender who returns to the United Kingdom in breach of a deportation order can be sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. Anyone who enters the UK without leave, or without a visa, also faces a maximum penalty of four years.
