Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of non-UK nationals of which ethnic groups dealt with in courts were sent to prison for each offence in the last year for which information is available.

The number and proportion of non-UK nationals, their ethnic groups and offences are detailed on the attached table and covers the period of 2015. The government has a longstanding policy to do everything possible to return foreign prisoners to their home country at the earliest opportunity.
