The Home Office publishes statistics on people entering and leaving detention in each quarter, and the number of people in detention on the last day of each quarter in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on people entering and leaving detention under immigration powers, are published in Table Det_01 of the ‘Summary tables’ and of those in detention, by location in Table Det_03a. The ‘contents’ sheet contains an overview of all available data on detention.

Further breakdowns can be found in the Immigration detention detailed datasets.

Figures on people in detention in Q3 2020 will be published on 26 November 2020.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
