Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the implications for national security of reports Iran has attempted to kill or kidnap British nationals in the UK.
Answered by Tom Tugendhat - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security)
We do not routinely comment on operational or intelligence matters, however the UK will always stand up to threats from foreign nations.
Any threat made by a foreign state against individuals in the UK will not be tolerated and will be thoroughly investigated. On 16th November, Ken McCallum, Director General of MI5, explained in his annual threat address that since January, there have been at least ten threats to kidnap or even kill UK-based individuals. Iran has established a pattern of this type of behaviour which is totally unacceptable, yet sadly typical of the regime and its lack of respect for basic rights.
Working with a range of partners, the UK government will continue to use all tools at its disposal to protect individuals in the UK against any threats from the Iranian state.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with regard to the Answer of 9 February to Question 149327, why the information requested is only be available at disproportionate cost when it has previously been supplied for the period up to March 2019 in response to Freedom of Information request reference 54393 dated 29 July 2019.
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
The information requested is not available from published statistics.
I note the Honourable Member references previous questions, but they are not identical. As such the information requested is not available in a reportable format and would require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.
Any foreign national who is convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence is considered for deportation at the earliest opportunity.
Section 32 of the UK Borders Act 2007 provides a statutory duty to deport a foreign national if they have been convicted of an offence in the UK and sentenced to a period of imprisonment of at least 12 months. This is subject to several exceptions, including where to do so would be a breach of a person’s ECHR rights or the UK’s obligations under the Refugee Convention.
Where a decision is made to deport, and representations are raised against that decision, an FNO is likely to be granted a right of appeal. This may be exercised in or out of country depending on the circumstances of the case.
The Home Office publishes data on Returns in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release(opens in a new tab)’. Data on the number of Returns from the UK by return type (including enforced returns) are published in table Ret_01 of the Returns ‘summary tables(opens in a new tab)’.
The term 'deportations' refers to a legally-defined subset of returns which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person’s removal from the UK is conducive to the public good. Information on those deported is not separately available and therefore the published statistics refer to all enforced returns.
The MoJ publishes data on Appeals in the following statistical quarterly release, https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tribunal-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2020(opens in a new tab).
This Government’s priority is keeping the people of this country safe and we are clear that foreign criminals should be deported from the UK wherever it is legal and practical to do so.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what records her Department holds on the number of incidents in each of the last five years in which a member of the public has been injured by a used needle.
Answered by Victoria Atkins - Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
The Home Office collects information on crimes in which a knife or sharp instrument was used. However, this is not broken down to the type of instrument used, nor does it provide information on whether a member of the public was injured.
