<p>We are determined to remove those with no right to remain in the UK – including
dangerous foreign criminals.</p><p>All spending is carefully scrutinised to make sure
that every pound of taxpayers’ money is spent in the most effective way.</p><p>The
Government’s efforts to facilitate entirely legitimate and legal returns of people
who have entered the UK illegally are often frustrated by late challenges submitted
hours before the flight.</p><p>These claims are often baseless and entirely without
merit but are given full legal consideration which can lead to removal being rescheduled,
this, in some instances, leads to cancellation costs.</p><p>The information requested
in PQ14503 on cancellation reasons, with specific reference to the costs recorded
on page 193 of the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23, would require
a manual reconciliation of the individual cases against financial records to see if
a cancellation cost was levied. This could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p><a
