Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 October 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

We have said that we should have had transitional controls for eastern Europe. Government Members need to consider how they can defend the fact that since the election deportations have dropped by 7% and deportations of foreign criminals are down by 14%, and how they can explain why the number of illegal migrants absconding at Heathrow has trebled since the election and why the number caught afterwards has halved since the election.
