Dominic Raab – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Dominic Raab on 2016-09-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders have successfully challenged deportation from the UK on human rights grounds in each of the last 10 years; and how many such claims relied upon (a) Article 3, (b) Article 8 and (c) another Article of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The following table shows the total number of foreign national offenders who have successfully challenged deportation from the UK on human rights grounds for the financial years 2006-07 to 2015-16. Data prior to this date is not available as it was not captured by the Home Office central reporting system.

Please note that the Home Office is not able to provide data on successful appeals where claims are broken down by Article 3, Article 8 and another Article on the European Convention on Human Rights. Individually this information is not held centrally and can only be collated at disproportionate cost.
