We take robust action to remove foreign nationals engaged in terrorist-related activity from the UK wherever possible.

We are also frequently required to vigorously defend our immigration decision-making through the Courts process.</p><p>Where we cannot remove such individuals, the Government and operational partners have a range of powers at their disposal, amongst them criminal prosecution and where criminal prosecution is not possible Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs), to manage the terrorist threat and protect our national security.</p> answering member constituency Tonbridge and Malling answering member printed Tom Tugendhat question first answered 19/09/2023 13:20:33 answering member 4462 label Biography information for Tom Tugendhat

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2023 answer text <p>This Government puts the rights of the British public before those of criminals, and we are clear that foreign criminals should be deported from the UK wherever it is legal and practical to do so.</p><p>Under the UK Borders Act 2007, a deportation order must be made where a foreign national has been convicted of an offence and received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more. This is subject to several exceptions, including where to do so would be a breach of a person’s ECHR rights or the UK’s obligations under the Refugee Convention. Individuals are only returned to their country of origin when the Home Office and, where applicable, the Courts deem it is safe to do so. Each individual assessment is made against the background of any relevant caselaw and the latest available country information.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick grouped question UIN 196158 question first answered 06/09/2023 15:37:40 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
