Philip Davies – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Davies on 2016-09-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign national offenders were released without being considered for deportation by (a) sex, (b) ethnicity and (c) country of origin in 2006.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The breakdown by sex of the 1013 foreign national offenders who were identified in 2006 as having been released without consideration for deportation is shown in the following table:

The Home Office publishes quarterly statistics on the number of foreign national offenders that have been released without consideration, including the breakdown of the current status of the 2006 cohort, within the Immigration Statistics release on the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/historical-interest-transparency-data-august-2016

The Home Office is not able to provide the information requested regarding ethnicity and country of origin as this information is not held centrally and cannot be disaggregated from data held electronically. To provide this information would require a manual check of electronic and paper records, which would be at disproportionate cost.
