They may occur 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 who have made an asylum claim on the basis above is not separately available. The published statistics refer to enforced returns, which include deportations as well as cases where a person has breached UK immigration laws, and those removed under other administrative and illegal entry powers who have declined to leave voluntarily.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>My Department continues to work closely with operational partners and engage with EU Member States to prepare for our departure from the EU in October. If necessary, we will be ready to transition our cooperation with EU Member States to alternative, non-EU arrangements where available. Broadly speaking, this would mean making more use of Interpol, Council of Europe instruments and other forms of co-operation with European partners, such as bilateral channels. In a no deal scenario requests for criminal records information would be facilitated under the 1959 Council of Europe Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance. The 1959 Convention is already used as the basis for exchange with a number of other countries.</p><p> </p><p>As regards SIS II, we will be able to continue to cooperate through pre-existing bilateral channels or Interpol, as was the case before 2015 when the UK connected to SIS II.Whilst these alternative arrangements are not like-for-like replacements, they are tried and tested mechanisms that we already use for cooperating with many non-EU countries. The UK will continue to be one of the safest countries in the world in the event of no deal.</p> question first answered 01/10/2019 17:00:34

In a small number of cases each year individuals are brought back to the UK either by the Home Office or a Court for further consideration of their case. When this occurs, we review all circumstances with the Courts as appropriate.</p> question first answered 17/01/2020 11:04:37
