Put that if the current system could not cope with deporting imprisoned foreign nationals then what sense did it make to deport all foreign national prisoners, the PMOS said firstly he did not want to pre-empt what the Home Secretary would say in the House. Secondly however, there was an issue about the criteria by which people could be considered for deportation. This would be one of the matters that the Home Secretary would discuss in his statement. Thirdly, there were issues surrounding a very small number of countries where the question was not whether you wished to deport but could you deport. In terms of the issue of the last 24 hours Somalia was one of those countries. Briefing took place at 15:00 | Read whole briefing | Comment (1) Honours
Asked how many Downing Street staff the police had questioned, the PMOS said he had already made it clear he was not providing a running commentary. Police investigations should not be conducted through the media. The police should be allowed to get on with their job in private as was the norm.
