We utilise both approaches flexibly to best meet operational needs and maximise value for money.</p><p>For operational reasons, it is not possible to disclose full details of the returns charter flight programme over the next six months.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 02/03/2020 17:05:20 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2020 answer text <p>The Home Office publishes data from 2012 onwards in its Annual Report and Accounts for the number of claimants who have been compensated following legal challenge of the lawfulness of their detention.</p><p>Whilst providing a clear sense of overall scale, the numbers are subject to caveats: (i) 'number of cases' is drawn from records of unique names of people, solicitors acting for them and Government Legal Department reference numbers; (ii) amounts paid are the amounts paid in each year (individual cases might see payments in more than one year, for example, if there are staged payments that fall across financial year boundaries).</p><p>Providing the information requested in relation to deportations or returns, would require a manual check of individual records and I am therefore not able to provide this to you. 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> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 17/01/2020 11:04:37 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
