Proceeding contribution from Michael Fallon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2016. It occurred during Urgent question on Royal Naval Deployment: Mediterranean.
Royal Naval Deployment: Mediterranean
I agree with my hon. Friend. Signals are picked up very quickly and very clearly by large numbers of young men further down the chain in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and, as we have seen on the Libyan coastline, further south in Africa itself. What has not happened so far is any policy of returns—nobody has actually been sent back. We need to start with those who are intercepted in Turkish waters and send them back to Turkey, so that we start to stem the flow.
