What this measures
The number of people who left the UK by assisted, controlled or other verified voluntary return in each quarter, split by nationality.
Enforced returns, people refused entry at port who subsequently departed, or people who left without the Home Office's knowledge; recent quarters are revised upwards as departures are verified.
