Asylum: Deportation

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the UK–France joint statement: enhancing co-operation against illegal migration, published on 14 November, how many unsuccessful asylum seekers are expected to be removed from the UK.

Answer

The UK-France Joint Statement published on 14 November set out the new Joint Strategic Objectives and Joint Operational plan for both countries to tackle illegal migration. This includes measures to prevent and deter illegal crossing attempts with investment in removal centres in France to support voluntary returns to countries of origin.

We do not provide pre-emptive figures for the number of unsuccessful asylum seekers who are expected to be removed from the UK.
