<p>The Home Office publishes numbers of people refused entry at UK ports, who subsequently
departed (“port returns”) in the quarterly <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release"
target="_blank">Immigration Statistics release</a>. The latest data are to the end
of June 2022.</p><p>A breakdown of port returns by nationality for different periods
is given in table Ret_D01 of the accompanying <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1118059/returns-datasets-sep-2022.xlsx"
target="_blank">detailed returns data tables</a>. Please note that most of the British
Overseas Territories nationalities have been grouped into one nationality group “British
Overseas Citizens”. Others which appear more commonly in the figures, such as Bermuda,
are shown separately.</p><p>Port returns include people who are refused entry and
are returned, so are therefore not a count of all people refused entry.</p><p>Further
information about how to use this data is available in the ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-year-ending-september-2022/how-many-people-are-detained-or-returned#about-the-statistics"
