Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for leave to remain have been granted on Article 3 ECHR medical grounds in each year since 2016.

The information that you have requested about Article 3 ECHR and deportation is not available from published statistics.

We are fully committed to making our communities safer by returning those who break our laws, which is why in the period between this government coming to power and January 2026, over 8,700 foreign national offenders (FNOs) have been returned from the UK. This is a 32% increase on the FNO returns recorded in the previous nineteen-month period ending June 2024, and we will continue to do everything we can to remove these vile criminals from our streets.
