<p>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 punish and deport them. More
than 48,000 foreign national offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010, and
in the last financial year more than 5,000 were removed from prisons, immigration
removal centres, and the community.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoner transfer is one of the
mechanisms used to remove foreign national offenders. Between 1 May 2014 and 31 May
2019, 464 sentenced prisoners were transferred from England and Wales to other countries
under international prisoner transfer arrangements. During the same period 233 sentenced
prisoners were transferred to England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>The transfer of prisoners
into and out of Scotland and Northern Ireland is a devolved matter.</p>
