Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.

UK Borders Bill

That is not automatic deportation because clause 32 contains a massive number of exceptions. The Home Secretary’s decision on whether an exception applies could be affected by a judicial review. The problem is that while it says that it is automatic deportation, it is in fact a mechanism whereby a button is pressed at the start, yet the process can later be reversed by judicial review. Judicial considerations should happen at the start of the process. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The Government have messed it up before and they will mess it up again.
