List of people banned from entering the United Kingdom
Updated: 11/6/2025, 1:39:31 AM Wikipedia source
The Home Office, a United Kingdom government department, has, from August 2005 to 31 March 2009, excluded 101 individuals from the UK for having "engaged in unacceptable behaviour". Of those, 22 were excluded by then-Home Secretary Jacqui Smith between 28 October 2008 and 31 March 2009. On 5 May 2009 Smith publicly "named and shamed" sixteen of those individuals. In addition to the sixteen, other people are or have been banned from the United Kingdom. The individuals are not necessarily banned from the British overseas territories, which have their own immigration regulations. Smith's successor as Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, ended the policy of naming people who are banned from entering Britain.
