UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Tony Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
I like very much what the Bill says about increased powers of deportation, but 14 per cent. of the prison population is made up of foreign nationals from 170 different countries. It looks as though we are jailers to the world. As the Minister knows, there is great fear about the possible influx of criminal gangs from eastern Europe because of the enlargement of the European Union. Will he assure us that the free movement of labour in the EU does not mean the free movement of criminal labour?
