To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Murray of Blidworth on 21 December 2022 (HL4067), what estimate they have made, if any, of (1) the expected costs of deportations of Albanian nationals who have travelled to the UK via small boats, and (2) the expected numbers of Albanian citizens who will be deported in 2023.

Costs for individual flights will vary based on a number of different factors and are regularly reviewed to ensure that best value for money is balanced against the need to remove those individuals with no right to remain in the UK.

We do not routinely disclose commercial or operational information relating to individual charter flights. Nor do we provide pre-emptive figures for the number of individuals who are expected to be removed from the UK.

The Home Office publishes statistics on all types of removals from the UK.
