A Bill to make provision to exclude from the United Kingdom foreign nationals found guilty of a criminal offence committed in the United Kingdom.
House of Commons
30 March 2015
The bill would give the government a new power to exclude foreign nationals who have been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK from entering or remaining in the United Kingdom. It aims to strengthen public protection by allowing exclusions in appropriate cases, subject to safeguards and due process. The measure would sit alongside existing immigration controls and deportation rules, with details set out in the clauses of the bill.
The bill is at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, meaning MPs are considering its general principles. If supported, it will move on to detailed scrutiny in committee and further stages.
