Victims and Courts Bill

Contribution

We are also working closely with colleagues in the Home Office to enable earlier identification of foreign national offenders. Being able to verify their nationality ahead of sentencing will facilitate more timely removals but may also provide an opportunity for enhanced data collection. We are going to keep this under consideration, in line with our ongoing work to improve the data collection and publication system that we inherited from the previous Government.
