<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 deport them. More than 40,000
foreign national offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010, and in the last
financial year a record number of over 6,300 were removed.</p><p> </p><p>An agreement
allowing Pakistani nationals to be removed from the UK during their prison sentence
so that they continue to serve their sentence in Pakistan is in place, but is currently
suspended due to the corrupt release of prisoners transferred to Pakistan in 2010.
Work is underway with the Government of Pakistan to resolve the issues this has presented
and restart transfers with appropriate safeguards in place. In the meantime, Pakistani
nationals continue to be deported from the UK following completion of their prison
sentences.</p>
