Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Theresa May and Graeme Morrice

Monday 9th July 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mrs May]

What the Government are doing, crucially, is taking action to ensure that we can set out the criteria for article 8 so that fewer foreign criminals will be able to call on it in order to stay in this country.
