Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department have awarded the funding to the British Muslim Trust which was pledged in July 2025.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

Hate crimes targeting Muslims are now at record levels: in the year to March 2025, there were 4,478 religious hate crimes against Muslims, representing almost half of all religious hate crimes. This is abhorrent and this Government is committed to tackling anti-Muslim hostility wherever, and however it manifests.

To do this, the Government provided £650,000 in the 2025/26 financial year to the British Muslim Trust to monitor anti-Muslim hostility and support victims. This includes providing a helpline to report incidents safely, raising awareness of hate crime and working closely with partners across the country to deliver on this vital work.

This funding is an important step in the Government’s mission to confronting all kinds of hatred and building safer, stronger and more cohesive communities for all.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 23 March 2026 to question 121386, if she will list the asylum-related removals in 2025 by nationality.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office publishes statistics on returns from the UK in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. The latest data on asylum-related returns by return type and top 10 most common nationalities in 2025 can be found in table Ret_04 of the ‘Returns summary tables’.

Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data. These reviews allow us to balance the production of our regular statistics whilst developing new statistics for future release.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders were in the community as of 30 September 2025 by nationality.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The latest published information can be found at: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK.

The information you have requested on the number of foreign national offenders (FNOs) living in the community split by nationality is not available from published statistics.

Any FNO convicted of a crime who receives a custodial sentence in the UK is referred to the Home Office for deportation consideration following sentencing.

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.

Where the actions of individuals or groups cross a legal threshold, we will act to prevent harm and to safeguard susceptible individuals.

As set out in the recent ‘Protecting What Matters’ publication, the Home Office is increasing resource to counter extremism and prevent groups and individuals from sharing their harmful rhetoric.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the consistency of the application of powers to exclude foreign nationals from the UK in cases involving people with (a) controversial public rhetoric and (b) reported links to or support for proscribed organisations.

Answered by Mike Tapp - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

The Home Office does not routinely comment on individual cases.

The Home Secretary has the power to exclude a person who is not a British Citizen if their presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good. Exclusion is reserved for cases involving national security, extremism, serious crime, war crimes, corruption and unacceptable behaviour. An exclusion decision must be reasonable, consistent with decisions taken in similar circumstances, and proportionate to the threat the person poses to the UK. There must be a rational connection between exclusion of the individual and the legitimate aim being pursued, for example safeguarding public security or tackling serious crime.

The Immigration Rules also provide for the refusal of entry clearance or permission where a person’s character, conduct or associations means it is undesirable to grant them entry or permission to stay the UK. The decision to refuse entry on the ground it is conducive to the public good must be made on a case-by-case basis, taking account of the conduct and circumstances of the person concerned. All decisions must be reasonable, proportionate and evidence based. A person’s presence may be deemed to be non-conducive to the public good for a range of reasons, for example, because of criminality, reprehensible behaviour falling short of a conviction, or because their identity, travel history or other circumstances means that their presence in the UK poses a threat to UK society. A person does not need to have a criminal conviction to be refused admission on non-conducive grounds.

Where a person has already been admitted to the UK, deportation action may be taken where their presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good. This may include those who have publicly expressed support for proscribed organisations.

Question to the Home Office:
