<p>The number of enforced returns by age is published in table rt_03 (returns data
tables) in <em>‘Immigration Statistics, January - March 2017’</em>, (attached) and
is also available from the Home Office website at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615158/returns2-jan-mar-2017-tables.ods"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615158/returns2-jan-mar-2017-tables.ods</a></p><p>The
term 'deportations' refers to a legal definition of a specific set of returns. Deportations
are a specific 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. The deportation order prohibits the person returning to the UK until such time
as it may be revoked. Published information on those deported is not separately available.
As such, the question has been interpreted as referring to enforced returns. In an
enforced return, it has been established that a person has breached UK immigration
laws and / or has no valid leave to remain in the UK. They have declined to leave
voluntarily and the Home Office enforces their departure from the UK.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total
