This estimate is based on a number of assumptions as to how the size of the eligible EEA population will change over the period. The range should be considered indicative as future migration flows can be affected by many factors and are difficult to predict.</p><p>Two reports on the private testing phases have already been published (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-1 and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-2/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-testing-phase-2-report)</p><p>Interim statistics on the public beta phases were also referenced in the Written Statement HCWS1387WS1387 of 7 March <br>(https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-07/HCWS1387/ )</p><p>We will publish further data on the operation of the EU Settlement Scheme in due course.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 23/04/2019 09:59:07 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

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 is not separately available. 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. Most illegal immigrants are removed from the UK under administrative or illegal entry powers and not deported.</p><p><br>The Home Office does not hold the information requested centrally. Providing the information requested would require a trawl through Immigration databases, which could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 11/04/2019 13:31:56 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
