To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of time-served foreign national offenders were (a) deported immediately (b) detained in Immigration Removal Centres pending deportation and (c) released pending deportation for each of the last five years.
The information you have requested on the proportion of time-served foreign national offenders (FNOs) is not available from published statistics.
The Home Office does publish data on FNO returns in the quarterly Immigration System Statistics release. Quarterly data on enforced, voluntary and port FNO returns (of which ‘deportations’ are a legal subset) are published in table ‘Ret_D03’ of the returns detailed datasets accompanying the release.
There has been an increase in the return of FNOs by 36%, with almost 10,000 FNOs being returned since this Government came to power.
The Home Office also publishes data on FNOs living in the community having completed their custodial sentences and subject to deportation or administrative removal. The latest published information can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK.
Where removal is not immediately possible, electronic monitoring can be used to manage FNOs. We will pursue deportation action against individuals living in the community rigorously, actively monitoring and managing cases through the legal process and negotiating barriers to removal.
The information you have requested on time-served FNOs, refused asylum seekers, and those being detained while their claim or identity is being established is not available from published statistics.
The Home Office publishes data on numbers of people entering and leaving immigration detention in the detention summary tables accompanying the quarterly Immigration System Statistics release. on overall numbers leaving detention in Det_01, and numbers of FNOs leaving detention in Det_06a. Numbers of people leaving detention who have previously claimed asylum are given in Det_01.
Work is currently underway to publish more detailed information on FNOs subject to deportation. Further information on this work can be found at: Statistics on foreign national offenders and the immigration system - GOV.UK.

The Crown Prosecution Service does not collate or publish specific data on categories of offender such as individuals who have returned to the UK following participation in any conflicts overseas.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 3 June 2026 to question 3166 on Repatriation: Syria, for what reason her Department does not record information on returning foreign fighters who have been a) arrested and b) prosecuted.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 3 June 2026 to question 3166 on Repatriation: Syria, for what reason her Department does not record information on returning foreign fighters who have been a) arrested and b) prosecuted.
Arrests and prosecutions are matters for the independent police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Where these relate to terrorism offences, the CPS provides relevant data to the Home Office for quarterly publication. This forms part of the official statistics publication on the Operation of Police Powers under the Terrorism Acts, which are published quarterly on gov.uk.
In 2023, the CPS’s oral evidence to the Joint Committee on Human Rights explained why they are unable to collect specific data on returning foreign fighters. The main reason for this was that the definition of a returning foreign fighter encompasses many variables, which can make it challenging to provide accurate data. For example, people may return via a third country or non-conflict zone, or may be convicted of offences before or after their travel.
Anyone who seeks to return from taking part in any conflict should expect to be investigated by the police where they are suspected of a crime and, where there is evidence that a crime has been committed, prosecuted.

The Government’s priority is the safety and security of the UK and our citizens. This can, where appropriate, include the exercise of immigration powers, the use of domestic and international watchlists, and law enforcement partners to disrupt the travel to the UK of individuals who are assessed to pose a threat.
Individuals who return should expect to be investigated and, where there is evidence that they have committed crimes, to face prosecution. A wide range of criminal and terrorism offences can be used to prosecute returning foreign fighters, carrying the possibility of a sentence up to and including life imprisonment.
It is the long-standing policy of successive UK Governments not to comment routinely either on individual cases or intelligence and security matters. On this Freedom of Information request, the Home Office set out the legal basis for withholding the requested information under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Those who are dissatisfied with the Home Office’s response to their Freedom of Information request may request an independent internal review within two months of the response.

The United Kingdom and France have signed an agreement to strengthen operations to combat illegal migration in northern France to prevent crossings to the United Kingdom with a significant increase in dedicated law enforcement, technological and intelligence resources. The new funding arrangement represents an evolution from previous iterations. For the first time ever, the funding uplift will be conditional on results and reducing illegal migration. Of the total £662 million that compose the new funding arrangement, the UK has committed to a foundation fund of £501m over three years and a new flexible fund of £50m in year 1 and £110m in years 2 and 3.
This new deal is underpinned by robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure every intervention is evidence-led and responsive to changing circumstances. The innovations in the flexible fund will be reviewed annually. If the new tactics are not successful, funding will stop after one year. Every pound spent will target results, maximising the effectiveness of UK investment to reduce small boat crossings.
We are working with France to develop the right metrics to evaluate success – including measures like arrests and disruptions. This is a partnership – we are working together on a shared problem.
