Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign national offenders were convicted of any criminal offence but not sentenced to prison, broken down by offence type, in the year ending June 2026.

The Ministry of Justice publishes information on convictions and sentencing in the Outcomes by Offence data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics quarterly - GOV.UK

However, it is not possible to identify through these statistics whether the offender was a foreign national. This information may be held in court records but to examine individual court records would incur disproportionate costs.

The removal of Foreign National Offenders is a priority for this Government and within its first two years (July 2024 to June 2026), this Government has increased returns of FNOs by 41% compared to the last two years of the previous Government.
