The Home Office does not keep electronic records on removals going as far back as 2000. Records of removals on the Immigration Database only go back to 2006. In 2010, 778 failed asylum seekers were removed after reaching the age of 18. In 2014, 445 failed asylum seekers were removed after reaching the age of 18.
