Our vision is for a truly global nation \u2013 where we welcome the brightest and best.<\/p>
We have been clear that we will introduce an Australian style points-based system, where it is the skills, talent and contribution people bring to the UK that matters \u2013 not where they come from.<\/p>

The Government is absolutely committed to removing Foreign National Offenders from the UK, and any foreign national who comes to our country and abuses our hospitality by breaking the law should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them.<\/p>
Since 2010, we have removed almost 50,000 Foreign National Offenders from our prisons, immigration removal centres and the community, with more than 5,000 removed in 2018/19.<\/p>
Providing the information requested would require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.<\/p>
The Home Office does publish quarterly statistics on the numbers of Foreign Nationals removed from the UK. This data can be found by accessing the following https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2019/list-of-tables<\/a><\/p> <\/p>"}
