Mr Jenrick’s proposals would have mirrored an approach by some US states and Denmark, where league tables reveal the nationalities committing the most offences and how they compare to the domestic population.

Labour has proposed its own league tables of migrant crime rates based on the nationalities and foreign criminals living in communities while awaiting deportation.

But it is not clear when this data will be published.
