Removal statistics

The request was partially successful.

Dear Home Office,

I write to request disclosure of the below information under the Freedom of Information Act.

Please provide answers to the following requests regarding people removal from the UK.

- Total number of people removed from the UK in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016;
- Number of people removed divided in Males, Females, Children for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016;
- Number of people removed by nationality by year for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016;
- Number of people removed by reason of removal (Overstayed, refused 'leave to enter' , entered illegaly etc.) by year for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016;
- Has the government payed flights and/or any other transportation for the removal of these people?

Please note that the terminology 'removal' and 'removed' has been used, based on the definition provided by the Home Office. This definition is:

"Removal is when the person no longer has any legal right to be in the UK, and when his/her appeal rights have been exhausted. This is typically when a person:
• is refused ‘leave to enter’ at a port (land, sea or air);
• has entered the UK illegally (for example if they came in the back of a lorry);
• has overstayed his/her leave (for example, remained longer than a visa allows);
• has breached conditions attached to his/her leave;
• is a dependent family member of any of the above."

Referring to Section 102, please send me the dataset in a form capable of re-use, such as Excel or .CSV.
Referring to the Section 16, in case of exceeded cost limits, please contact me.

Yours faithfully,

Daniele Palumbo
