Speed of deportation of foreign offenders

That this House notes with concern the long-standing failures to remove foreign national offenders promptly; welcomes the recent increase in deportations under the Early Removal Scheme; believes that the public expects decisive action to ensure that foreign criminals are removed from the UK swiftly; and calls on the Government to accelerate the pace of removals further as a matter of urgency so that foreign national offenders are deported as quickly and efficiently as possible with a permanent ban to re-entry.
