Nationality and Borders Bill

I have just outlined our policy intent. I was just going to go on to answer the question of the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett. There is a need to seek prosecution where there are aggravating circumstances. For those who arrive without permission and who are not granted refugee status, Immigration Enforcement will continue to remove such individuals from the UK as soon as reasonably possible. On the prosecutions, the aggravating circumstances might include: causing danger to themselves or others, including rescuers; causing severe disruption to services, such as shipping routes or closure of the Channel Tunnel; or cases of persons who have previously been removed from the UK, such as failed asylum seekers. We will take firm action against those who put others in danger by their actions or against those who have arrived in the UK without permission on previous occasions.
