Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many deportations of foreign national offenders there were in each year since 2010.

The table below provides the total number of foreign national offenders removed
in each year from 2010 to 2013.

Deportations are a specific subset of removals 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. The deportation order prohibits
the person returning to the UK until such time as it may be revoked. Most
foreign national offenders are removed via deportation or the Home Office
enforces their departure to ensure they leave the UK.

The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of
persons removed or departed voluntarily from the UK within Immigration
Statistics. Quarterly data on removals of foreign national offenders is
available in the latest release, Immigration Statistics: October – December
2013, table rv_07_q, from the Library of the House and from the Home Office
