Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nicholas Dakin and Gavin Williamson

Tuesday 5th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Sir Nicholas Dakin]

My hon. Friend tells it how it is. The Conservative party left our Prison and Probation Service in a mess. Our job, on behalf of the British people, is to clean up that mess. That is what we are doing.

[Sir Gavin Williamson (Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge) (Con)]

HMP Featherstone, HMP Oakwood and HMP Brinsford, also a young offender institution, in my constituency are brilliantly supported by amazing staff, but one of the pressures on them is the number of foreign national offenders in those prisons. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that those foreign national offenders are returned to where they came from?

[Sir Nicholas Dakin]

We are already on track to remove more foreign national offenders than the Conservative party ever did.
