Robbie Moore (Keighley and Ilkley) (Con)
Does my hon. Friend agree that this issue is ultimately about fairness for our constituents, who are paying their taxes and are seeing someone who has come here illegally benefiting from services more than they may be able to, as residents who pay tax? Does he agree that we must absolutely consider offshore detention and consider offshore processing? We must say, “If you come here illegally, you will be deported.”
Derek Twigg (in the Chair)
Order. I remind hon. Members that interventions must be short.
