According to the UK Home Department, it was the fifth returns agreement the Home Secretary had signed in 15 months, delivering for the British public through the New Plan for Immigration.
“Our new Borders Act will go further and help end the cycle of last-minute claims and appeals that can delay removals,” she explained.
In the January 2019 - December 2021 period, the UK has removed 10,741 foreign national offenders globally.
