<p>The Home Office does not maintain central records of an individual’s military career
history. Providing the information requested would therefore require a manual check
of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>The
Home Office publishes data on returns from the UK in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly
Release’ (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release).
Data on the number of returns, by year, nationality and type of return are published
in table Ret_D01 (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/returns-and-detention-datasets)
within the returns detailed dataset.</p><p> </p><p>The term 'deportations' refers
to a legally-defined subset of returns which are enforced either following a criminal
conviction or when it is judged that a person’s removal from the UK is conducive to
the public good. Information on those deported is not separately available and therefore
the published statistics refer to all enforced returns.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally,
the Home Office publishes a high-level overview of the data in the ‘Summary tables’,
available from the above link. The ‘contents’ sheet contains an overview of all available
data on returns. The latest data relates to the year ending March 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Information
on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and
statistics calendar’ (https://www.gov.uk/search/research-and-statistics?content_store_document_type=upcoming_statistics&organisations%5B%5D=home-office&order=release-date-oldest).</p>
