To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people who had been deported from the UK as a result of (a) a criminal prosecution and (b) committing terrorism-related offences subsequently returned to the UK in each of the last five years.

Providing the information requested would require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.

Anyone subject to a deportation order is placed on a watchlist and banned from re-entering the UK. Should a foreign national offender wish to return then they will have to apply for their deportation order to be revoked.
