On the subject of deporting foreign criminals, the government intends to bring forward an amendment to this bill in response to the widely-reported case of the vile grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed.
Our amendment will provide the home secretary with a new power to disapply Section 7 of the Immigration Act 1971 for serious criminals.
The public rightly expect us to control who and what enter this country. It is one of the most fundamental duties of the state and remains a top priority for me and the government I serve in.
