Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to deport Abdul Aziz, Adil Khan and Qari Abdul Rauf.
I am aware of the cases referred to, but I am unable to comment on individual cases.
The crimes committed by child sexual exploitation gangs, such as those in Rochdale, who prey on the young and vulnerable are appalling. I have every sympathy with their victims.
We are clear that foreign criminals should be deported from the UK wherever it is legal and practical to do so.
Foreign national offenders should be in no doubt of our determination to remove them, and since 2010 we have removed more than 52,000.
