The Act extended the period an FNO can be removed from prison under the ERS from a maximum of 9 months to 12 months before their custodial sentence would otherwise have ended. New changes, which came into force in January 2024, extended the removal period even further. Removal of FNOs can now take place up to 18 months before the end of the custodial element of their sentence, providing they have served the requisite period before removal can take place.</p><p>The ERS remains the most effective mechanism for removing eligible FNOs as quickly as possible, freeing up prison beds and saving money.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 12/03/2024 17:05:40 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

Measures in our modern slavery legislation strike the right balance and still enable us to protect genuine victims of trafficking.</p><p>The Nationality and Borders Act 2022 introduced the Public Order Disqualification, which means that foreign national offenders can be removed from the protections of the NRM where they pose a threat to public order.</p><p>The Illegal Migration Act 2023 furthered these measures, toughening the measures introduced in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022.</p><p>Additionally, where a foreign national offender has entered the United Kingdom illegally, and therefore presents a threat to public order, they will be disqualified from access to a recovery period and modern slavery specific support, unless they qualify for limited exceptions.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 14/12/2023 14:23:41 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom
