Offenders: Undocumented Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle crimes committed by individuals who have entered the country illegally.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The police deal with all criminals without fear or favour, irrespective of their nationality or immigration status.
Foreign nationals who commit serious crimes in our country should also be in no doubt that where practical and lawful, we will pursue their deportation.
