The number of enforced returns from the UK by year and country of destination is published in table rt_05q (returns data tables, volume 5) in \u2018Immigration Statistics, year ending March 2019\u2019, available from the GOV.uk website at:<\/p>

The term 'deportations' refers to a legally-defined subset of returns which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person\u2019s removal from the UK is conducive to the public good. Information on those deported is not separately available and therefore the published statistics refer to all enforced returns.<\/p>

This incident is deeply worrying at a time of already huge tension. These latest attacks build on a pattern of destabilising Iranian behaviour and pose a serious danger to peace and stability in the region.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK remains in close coordination with international partners to find diplomatic solutions to de-escalate tensions. Our Ambassador to Iran sought and was granted a meeting with the Iranian government on 15 June, where they discussed developments in the region and a range of other topics.<\/p>

<\/p>

We have long made clear to Iran our concern about their destabilising regional activity, particularly the proliferation of ballistic missiles and support to non-state groups, in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere. In targeting civilian shipping, international norms have been violated. It is essential that tankers and crews are able to pass through international waters safely. We call on Iran urgently to cease all forms of destabilising activity.<\/p>

On 22-23 June, I met with senior Iranian Government representatives. I held open, frank and constructive conversations with the Iranian authorities.

We are concerned at reports of airstrikes in Sana\u2019a on 13 June. This followed the Houthi attack on Abha airport on 12 June, on which we expressed our deep concern and urged parties to urge restraint and commit to the UN peace process. The UK continues to call on all parties to the conflict in Yemen to exercise restraint, comply fully with international humanitarian law and implement the Stockholm Agreement without delay to improve the humanitarian situation in Yemen.<\/p>

Following the publication of the Government\u2019s White Paper \u2018The UK\u2019s future skills-based immigration system\u2019 (Cm9722) on 19 December 2018, Ministers and officials are undertaking an extensive year long engagement programme.

These events have included representatives from many sectors of the UK economy including business, hospitality, tourism, agriculture, health and social care.
