Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders have been removed from the UK in each month since July 2024.

In the time since this government came to power and 31 July 2026, 11,733 foreign national offenders (FNOs) have been returned from the UK. In the two years since the election, there has been a 41% increase in FNO returns on the last two years of the previous government (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2026, when compared to the previous 2-year period), and we will continue to do everything we can to remove these vile criminals from our streets.

The monthly breakdown in FNO returns since July 2024 is published in ad-hoc transparency release, which can be found here: Returns from the UK between 1 July 2024 and 31 July 2026 - GOV.UK.
