Proceeding contribution from Andrew Percy (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid.


Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid

The transfer of foreign national prisoners is obviously not a simple issue. However, last year, Humberside police and East Riding of Yorkshire council brought to my attention the case of an EU national who had committed 33 crimes against the good people of Goole. We were told that deportation, if it did take place, could take up to two years. Surely it is completely and utterly unacceptable for any EU national to be in a British jail; they should be in their own countries in their own jails. Any EU nationals who are released from our jails should be deported immediately.
