UK Borders Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that there is a disparity in respect of the recommendations within the Home Office’s own enforcement manual? Irrespective of any legislation being put forward, it says:"““Home Office guidelines suggest that the most common reasons for a court not recommending deportation are that ‘its attention was not drawn to its powers in this respect or the judge decided to leave the matter to the Secretary of State.’ A recommendation has no legal effect on its own, as the IND still has to decide whether or not to act upon the recommendation.””" Is it not true that, irrespective of the Bill, the Government have failed on that issue in the past, and that there is no evidence that that will change in future?
