Proceeding contribution from Damian Green (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

Our proposals are that people should receive the appropriate sentences for the offences that they have committed. If such sentences entail the risk of deportation, so be it. If someone is eligible for deportation, they should be deported as soon as possible. That approach seems perfectly sensible; I am sure that the Government claim to have such an approach, although experience tells us that that is not remotely the case. My fear is that the proposals in this part of the Bill do not lead us towards that desirable state at all.
