Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many immigrants found to have been working illegally have been deported since 4 July 2024.

As set out in legislation, an individual is liable to removal from the UK if "the person requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom but does not have it". The Home Office does not routinely categorise immigration offenders by the manner in which they became irregular, including those who may have been found to be working in breach of visa conditions, and to do so could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.
