Amber Rudd
My right hon. Friend raises an important point. There are plenty of examples and quotations from the Labour party about its targets and determination to remove illegals. Removing illegals is something that everybody and every Government should do and want to do, and this Government make no excuse for wanting to do it, but the Windrush group, whom we all respect, are a completely separate group, are legal, and we want to make sure that we look after them.
Sir Edward Davey (Kingston and Surbiton) (LD)
The Government have a target to reduce immigration, legal or illegal. Could it be that officials were following Ministers’ lead?
Amber Rudd
It is my experience that our caseworkers work with compassion and care in administering their duties. Under this leadership, I will always make sure that they do.
