Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Illegal Immigrants (Criminal Sanctions) Bill.


Illegal Immigrants (Criminal Sanctions) Bill

The short answer is no. This Bill, like the Benefit Entitlement (Restriction) Bill, was the subject of a survey by the noble Lord Ashcroft, and it was even more popular, with well over three quarters of respondents supporting it and only a handful opposing it.

The Bill accords with common sense. It is popular and sensible, and I hope the Government will let it go through and facilitate its passage so that we get it on to the statute book very quickly.
