Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.

As my right hon. Friend knows, there is a large number of foreign national prisoners in the prison estate, costing the taxpayer, as he says, an enormous amount of money. What we need is not legislation but a focus on trying to get them removed to their country of origin. Making sure that that is done would be a better use of the Government’s time than building more prisons.
