Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people whose asylum applications have been rejected were deported in the last 12 months.

The Home Office publishes statistics on the number of returns from the UK in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. The latest data on asylum-related returns, are available in table Ret_05 of the ‘Returns summary tables’, where the data are broken down by return type, including enforced returns (of which ‘deportations’ are a subset). The latest data relate to the year ending June 2022.

For more information on the definitions of asylum-related returns and deportations please see the ‘about the statistics’ section of the ‘How many people are detained or returned?’ section of the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’.
