Home Department written question – answered at on 23 October 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many nationals of other EU countries have been banned, including on a temporary basis, from entering the UK after being told to leave, or being removed from, the UK on the grounds that they no longer fulfil the criteria for the right to residence under Chapter III of European Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of citizens of the EU and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of EU member states in each year since 2007.
The UK Border Agency does not hold the information requested. EEA nationals who cease to have a right to reside under the terms of Directive 2004/38/EC may be administratively removed from the UK or refused entry. An administrative removal made on this basis does not preclude re-entry at a later date.
