<p>The Home Office does not the hold the specific information requested in a reportable
format. The department undertakes a wide range of enforcement action. This action
includes application of sanctions against individuals and employers, prosecution of
foreign national criminals, the disruption of serious and organised crime as well
as our work to encourage and enforce the return of those who have no legal right to
stay in the UK. The department does publish information on returns. Published returns
figures only include those who have been removed not all of those who were subject
to immigration enforcement action.</p><p>The Home Office publishes the number of returns
from the UK, by year in table rt_01 (returns data tables, volume 1) in ‘Immigration
Statistics, year ending March 2019’, available from the GOV.uk website at: <br><a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/803173/returns1-mar-2019-tables.ods."
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/803173/returns1-mar-2019-tables.ods.</a></p><p>Further
information about Immigration Enforcement activity is available at:<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-enforcement-data-may-2019"
target="_blank"> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-enforcement-data-may-2019</a></p><p>As
detailed at paragraph 5 in the published information linked above; The Home Office
is proposing to review the enforcement data that it publishes in order to ensure it
provides a comprehensive overview of the detention and returns system. This will involve
a consultation in 2019, where it will invite public views on its proposals.</p>
