<p>The Home Office publishes data on people in detention in the ‘Immigration Statistics
Quarterly Release’. Data on the number of people in detention on the last day of each
quarter are published in table Det_D02. Data on people leaving detention every quarter
by reason for leaving (including whether they were returned from the UK) are published
in Det_D03 of the Detailed Detention datasets.</p><p>Information on how to use the
dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates
to the year ending December 2019. Additionally, the Home Office publishes a high-level
overview of the data in the 'summary tables'. The ‘contents’ sheet contains an overview
of all available data on detention.</p><p>Information on future Home Office statistical
release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’. Q1 2020 figures
will be released on 21<sup>st</sup> May 2020.</p><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’s removal from the UK is conducive to
the public good. Information on those deported is not separately available and therefore
the ‘returned from the UK’ category in the leaving detention by reason figures, refer
to all enforced returns and voluntary departures.</p>
