DfT funds travel where there is a clear business need, with controls to ensure all spend delivers value for money. The Department does not routinely record or retain information on the nationality of individuals within the records used to manage and account for travel expenditure. As a result, it is not possible to identify the number of flights taken by non-UK nationals through a simple search of existing records since 4 July 2024.

The Home Office faces significant and complex challenges when seeking to return those who have no right to be in the UK to their country of origin or lawful place of return. Despite these barriers, we are fully committed to making our communities safer by returning those who break our laws.
Data on the numbers of appeals on the grounds of Article 8 of the ECHR specifically are not published.
Since this Government came to power almost 10,000 FNOs have been returned, an increase of 36%, and we will continue to do everything we can to remove these vile criminals from our streets.

The Home Office publishes data on sponsored work visas issued, broken down by occupation, industry, and nationality, in table Occ_D02 of the Sponsored work visas by occupation and industry dataset of the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release.
The published statistics refer to the number of visas granted, not the number of people in the country at a given point in time. They do not include the work status of all Russian passport holders – for example, dual nationals using their non-Russian passport, Russian nationals with indefinite leave, those on unsponsored visa routes, or dependents of other visa holders.

We have published an impact assessment of the Immigration and Asylum Bill. Clause 20 clarifies Parliament’s view of how Article 8 ECHR rights should be balanced with the public interest in immigration control and deportations of foreign criminals. Foreign criminals who commit serious crimes in the UK will be removed more swiftly, with the law giving greater weight to public safety and less scope for weak claims to delay deportation.

We have published an impact assessment of the Immigration and Asylum Bill. We anticipate the measures within clause 20 will result in a reduction in the proportion of Article 8 decisions overturned following an appeal; a strengthened public interest test that operates compatibly with Article 8 ECHR and which places greater weight on the public interest in deportation; and greater consistency in deportation decision making by the courts.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what was the cost of providing foreign national prisoners with phone credit in the past year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what was the cost of providing foreign national prisoners with phone credit in the past year.
As the data collected in relation to telephone credit do not include the nationality of the prisoner, it is not possible to provide the information requested without incurring disproportionate cost.
We are focused on removing foreign national offenders (FNOs), to protect the public and ease the burden on taxpayers. We have already changed the law so that most foreign prisoners can be deported after serving 30% of their prison time, rather than 50%.
In the year to 31 March, deportations of FNOs were up 13% compared with the previous year, with more than 5,800 removed.
