Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many residents of Leicester East constituency have been detained in immigration removal centres since January 2020.
This Government is clear that foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality by committing crimes should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them. Since January 2019 we have returned 9,286 foreign national offenders (FNOs) and since January 2020, we have utilised over 110 charter flights to deport FNOs and other immigration offenders to countries across Europe and around the rest of the world.
Information on deportations and detentions by constituency or county level are not held centrally by the Home Office. Published information on returns including deportation and detention is available from Immigration statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and the factsheet on Returns, Deportation and Charter Flights Factsheet - Home Office in the media (blog.gov.uk)
