Coronavirus, in with the Royal Family.

He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual.”
His wife Camilla, 72, tested negative for the bug, with the couple now self-isolating at their home in Birkhall at Balmoral, Scotland.
It is believed Charles tested positive on Monday night, with another six members of staff now isolating with them.
They added: “In accordance with Government and medical advice, the Prince and the Duchess are now self-isolating at home in Scotland.

The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.

“It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.”

Prince Charles met with Prince Albert of Monaco earlier this month, who later tested positive for coronavirus.

The 62-year-old ruler tested positive just nine days after he sat opposite the Prince of Wales at a WaterAid event in London.

Buckingham Palace today said Her Majesty remains in good health and last saw her son Charles on March 12.

Charles himself was most recently seen at an Australian bushfire relief event on March 12.

He had been avoiding shaking hands with members of the public at a number of events recently, instead choosing to use the namaste gesture.

And the royal had last appeared in public with the Queen at Westminster Abbey when senior royals including Prince William and Prince Harry went to the Commonwealth Service on March 9.

The Queen is currently in Windsor Castle after heading there a week earlier than planned amid the coronavirus panic.

The 93-year-old and husband Prince Phillip, 98, released a statement urging Britain to come together during the trying times.

House of Parliament

Westminster Abbey, House of Commons. SW1A 0AA. Email: proclamationnewsandgatherence@yahoo.com. For further information on domestic violence.

Foreword by Home Secretary, Justice Secretary and Proclamation News and Gatherance.
The importance of tackling domestic abuse
Domestic abuse destroys lives. It is a cruel and complex crime that can affect
anyone, leaving physical and emotional scars that can last a lifetime.
No one should have to suffer the pain of this abhorrent crime, particularly at the
hands of those closest to them. Children should not have to witness violence
and abuse in their own homes. We have a duty to support victims and prevent
people from being hurt.
That is why the government has committed to introduce a Domestic Abuse Bill,
which will provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the response
to this terrible crime. In March 2018, we set out our legislative proposals for this
landmark bill, alongside a package of practical action. We consulted on these,
seeking views from victims and survivors, support organisations and frontline
professionals, to harness their knowledge and expertise.
We asked questions on how we could achieve four main objectives, each with
prevention and protection at their heart. The responses explore how we can:
• promote awareness – to put domestic abuse at the top of everyone’s
agenda, and raise public and professional awareness
• protect and support – to enhance the safety of victims and the support
that they receive
• transform the justice process – to prioritise victim safety in the criminal
and family courts, and review the perpetrator journey from identification to
rehabilitation
• improve performance – to drive consistency and better performance
in the response to domestic abuse across all local areas, agencies
and sectors
Having considered these responses, we are committed to delivering on the
measures set out in the Queen’s Speech. We are taking forward domestic
abuse legislation to fundamentally change the way we, as a country, think about
this insidious crime.
We are also dedicated to ending all forms of violence against women, and
our Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy 2016–2020 sets out our
ambition to protect women and girls from violence, support victims and provide
leadership at a national and international level on ending these forms of abuse.
But much has changed since we published the strategy in 2016, and we have
gone much further and faster than ever before. Therefore, we will shortly be
publishing a refreshed Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, which sets
out achievements made to date as well as setting out new action to tackle these
crimes, in line with our 2016 vision.

Transforming the Response to Domestic Abuse: Consultation Response and Draft Bill
We have also committed to improve support for all victims through our Victims
Strategy, which was published in September 2018 and sets out our commitment
to improve support for all victims of crime by giving victims the certainty that
they will be understood, protected and supported throughout their journey.
In addition, we know that nearly 60% of female offenders have experience
of domestic abuse, so through our Female Offender Strategy we have also
committed to investing £5 million in community provision for female offenders
and women at risk of offending, which includes £2 million of funding for women
who have experienced domestic abuse.
Our aim is to support victims, communities and professionals to confront and
challenge all types of abuse, wherever they find it.
Ending domestic abuse remains an absolute priority for this government and we
will continue to show strong leadership and take decisive action to ensure that
we are doing all we can to transform our response and end the suffering and
harm that abuse causes.
The Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP The Rt Hon David Gauke MP
Home Secretary Lord Chancellor and Secretary
of State for Justice

Executive summary
In February 2017, the Prime Minister announced plans for work to
transform the way we think about and tackle domestic abuse, leading to
the introduction of a new Domestic Abuse Bill. The commitment to introduce
this bill was re-affirmed in the Queen’s Speech at the opening of Parliament in
June 2017.
On International Women’s Day 8 March 2018 the government launched a
nationwide consultation to seek views on how this transformation can be
achieved. The consultation – Transforming the Response to Domestic Abuse
– ran for 12 weeks and closed on 31 May. The aim of the consultation was
to harness the knowledge and expertise of victims and survivors, as well as
charities, specialist organisations, and experts across policing, criminal justice,
health, welfare, education, social services, employment and local authorities
who deal with the effects of domestic abuse every day. The consultation was
launched in two versions, one with 65 questions, and a shorter version with 12
questions that were focused on the experience of victims.
The consultation received over 3,200 responses from across the UK.
During the consultation period, a large number of events were held across
England and Wales, engaging over 1,000 people including victims, charities,
local authorities and professionals from other organisations. We want to extend
our thanks to all those who shared their personal experiences through the
consultation process and to all the organisations who hosted events and made
sure as many victims voices were heard and amplified as possible. We have put
these victim testimonies and experiences at the centre of our response.
The majority of those who responded to the consultation agreed with the
proposals within it. The response also provided important insight into the
lived experience of domestic abuse as well as useful examples of what can be
effective in tackling it.
The response to the consultation identifies nine measures that require
primary legislation to implement. These will now be taken forward in a draft
Domestic Abuse Bill, which is annexed to this document (Annex D), together
with the explanatory notes for the draft Bill (Annex E). These nine measures
are:
• provide for a statutory definition of domestic abuse
• establish the office of Domestic Abuse Commissioner and set out the
Commissioner’s functions and powers
• provide for a new Domestic Abuse Protection Notice and DAPO
• prohibit perpetrators of domestic and other forms of abuse from
cross-examining their victims in person in the family courts (and prevent
victims from having to cross-examine their abusers) and give the
court discretion to prevent cross-examination in person where it would
diminish the quality of the witness’s evidence or cause the witness

significant distress
3
Transforming the Response to Domestic Abuse: Consultation Response and Draft Bill
• create a statutory presumption that complainants of an offence involving
behaviour that amounts to domestic abuse are eligible for special
measures in the criminal courts
• enable domestic abuse offenders to be subject to polygraph testing as a
condition of their licence following their release from custody
• place the guidance supporting the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme
on a statutory footing
• ensure that, where a local authority, for reasons connected with domestic
abuse, grants a new secure tenancy to a social tenant who had or has
a secure lifetime or assured tenancy (other than an assured shorthold
tenancy), this must be a secure lifetime tenancy
• extend the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the criminal courts in England and
Wales to further violent and sexual offences
The draft Bill will now be subject to pre-legislative scrutiny by a joint
committee of both Houses of Parliament.
We recognise that this issue cannot be addressed through legislation
alone and therefore we have also proposed a package of measures to sit
alongside the legislation. This programme of work includes a wide range
of cross-government commitments which will be taken forward over the
coming year.
Through the measures set out in both the draft Domestic Abuse Bill and
the practical package of action outlined in this document, we seek to
transform the government’s response to domestic abuse.

Uk politics today. Westminster Abbey

Priti Patel is out of her depth – and that is Boris Johnson’s fault

The Home Office needs artful, subtle leadership. Instead, it’s been saddled with an insensitive rightwing loyalist

When a boss and her number two issue statements professing love for each other, something is wrong. Witness the home secretary, Priti Patel, and her chief civil servant, Philip Rutnam, countering rumours from within their department. These allegations about Patel, leaked to the press, include “bullying”, “belittling officials”, creating an atmosphere of fear, and being out of her depth. This is not a happy ship.

The Home Office has seemed dysfunctional for more than a decade, as it has attempted to deliver Toryism’s “nasty” edge, on law and order and, above all, immigration. Its explicitly “hostile environment” towards immigrants and asylum seekers has come to embody Britain’s “un-welcome” to the world. It desperately needs leadership that is politically subtle and sensitive

Patel’s greatest fans would not laud her subtlety and sensitivity. A lack of experience and chequered ministerial career restored her to high office only because Boris Johnson wanted a rightwing loyalist who would carry his anti-Europeanism to extremes. Patel has set about this with a bludgeon.

The readiness of Home Office officials to “gold plate” Tory xenophobia has long puzzled those who regard the British civil service as basically liberal at heart. It has shackled local police with target culture, persistently opposed reform of drugs policy and persecuted any immigrant who crosses their path. That officials might finally be seeking to sensitise a rightwing minister is welcome.

However, bad-mouthing a minister is rarely productive. It is hard to believe Patel and Rutnam can long be in joint harness. Responsibility for this mess lies entirely with Johnson, for appointing an out-of-depth minister in the first place. He is clearly still in his “Trumpian” phase, thrashing about, sacking people, tearing things up and hoping they will settle. We all do.

Johnson clearly wants to run what under Tony Blair was called a “Napoleonic” government, based on strong central command and a cabinet of poodles. The appointment of often useless ministers for short terms of office might work if balanced by a stable and experienced officialdom. Rumours of the imminent sacking of officials suggest no such balance. Disruptive aides, such as Margaret Thatcher’s Alan Walters and Blair’s Alastair Campbell, have to be offset by wiser and older heads. As Thatcher said, “Every prime minister needs a Willie,” referring to her experienced deputy, William Whitelaw.

Johnson has no Willie – where it matters. He cuts at present a solitary figure. All his advice appears to come from Dominic Cummings. Such radical aides are important at the heart of government, but not let off the lead. The cabinet secretary, Mark Sedwill, clearly cannot control the government machine, as senior officials are demoted from advisers and chief executives into mere administrators who only obey orders.

If constructive criticism is not sustained within government, it will default to the street, as is happening in democracies around the world. Johnson’s distortion of the chemistry of British government is dangerous for all concerned, not least himself.

More on Parliament

ANDREW PIERCE: Just what has happened to Diane Abbott’s charity? 

Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott yesterday ruled out serving in the Shadow Cabinet of the next Labour leader.

She told Sky’s Sophy Ridge: ‘There’s an awful lot to do on the back benches.’

It will come as a huge relief to Sir Keir Starmer, the current front runner in the party leadership race, that Abbott is resigned to life out of the spotlight.

My sources tell me that, as leader, he would have sacked her, no question.

With more time on her hands, perhaps Abbott might now show more interest in her charity, the Diane Abbott Foundation, which focuses on advancing the cause of young black Britons in education and business.

Philip Morris drew up plan for £1bn tobacco transition fund

Exclusive: firm accused of hypocrisy after talking to anti-tobacco MP about helping smokers switch products

Philip Morris International (PMI), one of the world’s biggest tobacco companies, drew up plans for a £1bn tobacco transition fund in the UK to be spent by local authorities and Public Health England on persuading smokers to give up cigarettes in favour of alternatives such as its “heat not burn” smokeless tobacco product, IQOS, leaked documents reveal.

The documents, obtained by the Guardian and Channel 4’s Dispatches programme, show PMI had discussions with a leading anti-tobacco MP about presenting a smoke-free bill proposing the fund to the House of Commons. If passed, the bill would have ended an advertising and marketing ban on IQOS and e-cigarettesPMI wants to be seen as part of the solution to smoking, which kills half of all people who take it up, even though the company continues to make and market cigarettes around the world. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health (Ash), said this approach was “breathtakingly hypocritical”.

Smokeless cigarettes not as harmless as claimed, study says
PMI has declared it is committed to working for a “smoke-free future” in which products such as IQOS, which heats tobacco to deliver nicotine without the smoke and tar that cause diseases including cancer, replace cigarettes. When the Food and Drug Administration in the United States licensed IQOS there, it said the high nicotine hit it delivered could make it an attractive alternative to cigarettes for smokers, but there was a risk of creating addiction in non-smokers.

Ash has advocated a “polluter pays” fund for smoking cessation services, but not one that transitions people on to other addictive tobacco products. Arnott said PMI was seeking to buy respectability, access to government and a role in smoking policy that the industry at the moment is categorically denied.

“This is completely unacceptable,” said Arnott. “The tobacco industry is the most profitable consumer business on the planet, selling products which kill 7 million people a year globally and nearly 100,000 in the UK alone. The industry can afford to pay and it should be made to pay, not allowed a seat at the government policymaking table so it can ensure the fund is used to further the interests of its shareholders rather than public health.”

The MP who met PMI was Labour’s Kevin Barron, now retired, who has an exemplary record in combating smoking and is credited with getting the bill that banned smoking in public places through parliament. Barron said he believed e-cigarettes and other nicotine-delivery devices that were less harmful than cigarettes had an important part to play and he had no qualms in meeting companies that wanted to go in that direction.

The internal documents – an email and two briefing papers – are dated March and May 2018. An email from Mark MacGregor, PMI’s corporate affairs director and a former chief executive of the Conservative party, said an exploratory conversation with the MP had been extremely positive. “He understands the concept of the ‘deal’ that is on offer and is very attracted to the incentive that the fund could provide to change behaviours among smokers and the industry – though balanced by enabling industry to inform smokers,” it said.

That would have meant the removal of advertising restrictions. PMI proposed the setting up of a £1bn fund over 10 years from 2021 in exchange for the loosening of laws curbing advertising of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products. The money was to come from all the major tobacco companies with products on the market in the UK.

The documents show that the bill, if passed, would have rewritten the rules on e-cigarettes after the UK’s exit from the EU. A European directive dictates the size and strength of nicotine liquids in e-cigarettes, which has, for instance, resulted in Juul devices popular with young people containing only 20mg of nicotine instead of 59mg in the USA, so that they are less addictive. That restriction would go, as would limits on packaging and advertising. The relevant parts of the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, which enshrined the EU rules in UK law, would be repealed, “enabling adult smokers to make informed decisions”, the document says.

PMI envisaged that IQOS would be redefined as a “considerably less harmful novel smokeless tobacco product” (CLHTP). Such products would have lighter regulation and would be promoted to people who cannot stop smoking and do not switch to e-cigarettes, says the document. “Publicly funded public health communications and anti-smoking campaigns, as well as professional health advice such as Nice guidance, must include advice on e-cigarettes and CLHTPs,” says PMI’s draft bill.

The money from the fund would mostly go to local authorities, which are responsible for smoking cessation programmes. Public Health England would get £15m “to facilitate switching” from cigarettes to IQOS, and would have to “report annually on its efforts and achievements in improving the scientific knowledge base and consumer understanding of non-combustible alternatives”.

Barron introduced a 10-minute-rule bill to the Commons on 30 October 2018 that proposed the tobacco transition fund. He had met PMI earlier in the year, has had disussions with other tobacco companies, and maintains it was the right thing to do. He said the issue was simple: smoking kills 50% of users and more than 200 people a day. Tobacco companies are now promoting and selling products that are up to 95% safer and satisfy people’s addiction. “Shouldn’t we be encouraging them to do that?” he asked.

He said companies must not be able to stipulate that their specific products must be used. “You cannot buy the market, although they have money,” he said. “But if they want to promote a safer, less harmful product for somebody who is addicted to nicotine, my view is we should help them to do that because it will lessen the deaths from combustible tobacco. So I did the 10-minute-rule bill. I spoke to ministers and said this was what it was about. I don’t think the discussions were completely hostile.”

The bill, competing with 149 others, was not adopted. Ash worries that in the post-Brexit world, the EU’s tight regulations over e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products could be lifted with the sort of consequences that occurred in the US when Juul took off among teens.

Arnott said: “Ash has worked with Kevin Barron for decades. He led the campaign in parliament to ban tobacco advertising and it’s thanks to his work that pubs are now smoke-free. If, as it looks like, PMI persuaded Kevin Barron of the need for government to partner with the industry, their ‘normalisation’ strategy is clearly working.

“Kevin may have left parliament, but PMI’s parliamentary and public relations campaign continues. Now the government has committed to considering the ‘polluter pays’ approach, PMI will be lobbying to ensure it’s structured to suit their commercial interests.”

Philip Morris said it supported the government’s commitment to make England smoke-free by 2030. “To realise this ambition, millions of current smokers need to be persuaded to quit altogether or switch to less harmful alternatives. Critical to this will be putting in place a regulatory framework that ensures smokers have the facts about alternatives and that tobacco companies are pushed to phase out cigarettes.

We have made this point time and time again to MPs, civil servants, local councillors, journalists and the broader public. What this story really shows is that Philip Morris has been consistent in its efforts to make smoke-free 2030 a reality.”

now we look at whats in store ahead of the week ahead,Nicola Sturgeon: I have support to remain first minister

Nicola Sturgeon has said she “emphatically” wants to remain as first minister for at least a few years.

Appearing on The Andrew Marr Show, the SNP leader said she believed she had the support of “party and of country” to hold her post.

It comes after party figures told BBC political correspondent Nick Eardley Ms Sturgeon may be in trouble.

She also defended a proposal for a “Scottish visa” system after the UK government unveiled immigration plans.

MSPs would decide the criteria for this new visa, and the Scottish government would receive and assess applications before sending them to the UK government for security checks.

The UK’s post-Brexit system, which was announced earlier this week, means that low-skilled workers would not get visas.

‘Damaging prosperity’

However Ms Sturgeon’s position is that this would cause “devastation” for Scotland’s economy as it would reduce the number of people entering the country with “restrictive” border controls.

There are concerns about Scotland’s ageing population and shrinking workforce, with the National Records of Scotland projecting that deaths could outweigh births over the next 25 years.

Scottish ministers say this means greater inward migration is needed to boost Scotland’s working-age population in particular, and that an end to freedom of movement could threaten this.

In a letter to Number 10 published on Sunday, Ms Sturgeon has called for a meeting with Boris Johnson to discuss immigration policy.

She told Andrew Marr she hopes to take a delegation of sectoral and business leaders to Downing Street to set out arguments for a different Scottish system.

She said: “You have a UK government that has as an expressed objective – reducing the number of people who come into the UK from other countries.

“My point is that that objective – in and of itself – is deeply damaging to Scotland’s economy and our future prosperity.

“It will make us poorer and that is why I really want to see this change and for Scotland’s interests to be recognised.”

The UK government, however, has urged employers to “move away” from relying on “cheap labour” from Europe and invest in retaining staff and developing automation technology.

And the Migration Advisory Committee has said Scotland’s needs are “not sufficiently different” from the rest of the UK to justify a “very different” system, with the north of England facing similar issues.

Ms Sturgeon said there was “not a shred of evidence” to support the idea that Scottish jobs had been undercut and called for more powers over employment law to ensure fair working conditions.

She said: “There is much evidence to the contrary including the views of the migration advisory committee – that immigration and EU immigration in particular does not drive down wages, either in the Scottish economy or in the UK economy.

“Migrants make a net contribution to our economy. If we have a problem of low wages or working conditions not being what they should be, that’s about poor regulation in the UK economy.”

A UK government spokesman said: “Our new points-based immigration system will work in the interests of the whole of the United Kingdom.

“We will continue to work with stakeholders and industry in Scotland to ensure the new proposals work for all sectors.”

Future as leader

Earlier this week Nick Eardley wrote that a number of SNP figures said Ms Sturgeon may have to “fall on her sword” amid increasing discussions over her future.

When asked if she would remain in her position as leader of Scotland, Ms Sturgeon said there were two conditions to consider.

She said: “Firstly you have to have the support, not just of party but of country, and I would say humbly that I’ve just led my party to another landslide election victory.

“Secondly I have to be sure that I want to do this job, think I’m the best person to to this job, have the drive and energy – and that is emphatically the case.”

Marr also pushed Ms Sturgeon on whether she would look to hold another referendum on Scottish independence this year, despite the prime minister’s flat refusal.

She reiterated her call for independence supporters to “be patient” but said it was important to continue arguing for another vote as the UK government negotiates its “future relationship with Europe”.

“I think it’s important that Scotland decides whether or not it wants to go down that road and if it doesn’t we start to plot a better route forward,” she said.

Ms Sturgeon added that she does not rule out “testing the limit of the power of the Scottish Parliament” in court – but it was not an option she was “actively looking at”.

She has previously ruled out the possibility of holding an unofficial referendum similar to the one in Catalonia in 2017.

Diane Abbott confirms she will stand down from Shadow Cabinet

Diane Abbott has confirmed she will stand down from the shadow Cabinet whoever wins the Labour leadership contest.

The Shadow Home Secretary said the person who replaces Jeremy Corbyn has to be able to create their own top team and move the party forward.

Her comments came after Mr Corbyn indicated he would be willing to serve in another senior position once he steps down as leader.

And Rebecca Long-Bailey, one of the candidates in the contest, has said she would be willing to offer him a position if she wins.

But asked about Mr Corbyn on Sky News’ Ridge on Sunday, Ms Abbott sought to clarify her own position, saying: “I will be stepping down because I think the new leader has to be able to construct their own shadow cabinet.” 

She added: “I was a backbencher for a few years and there’s an awful lot to do on the backbenches.

“One of the things that I will want to do is make sure we don’t make a swerve to the right on migration policy.

“I think that’s a dead-end for the Labour Party.

“We have to stand by our principles and stand by our values and make sure we have an immigration policy which is fair and workable.”

The veteran MP said whatever the party decides her view will be “I support free movement”, as she attacked the Government’s new post-Brexit immigration plans.

She said the “notion of control” over borders should not be the starting point of the new points-based system, saying: “We should be starting from what are the needs of the economy.” 

And she added: ”You are not going to suddenly replace the EU migrants unable to come here.

“This is a very misconceived policy – it’s all about giving the impression of being hawkish on migration.”

Ms Abbott said: “I don’t think the Home Office is full of individual racists, but I do think they run a system which is detrimental to black and brown migrants.”

House of Lords under fire for ‘out of control’ expenses as bill hits £23m a year

 

The House of Lords is facing criticism after it was revealed peers’ expense claims have risen by 29% in a year, taking the total bill to £23million.

According to The Sunday Times, the average tax-free bill by members of the upper chamber was around £31,000, with 31 claiming over £77,000.

But the Lords defended its costs, claiming the rise is due to an increase in the number of days the House sat.

They are also set to get a pay rise in March of 3.1%, taking their daily attendance allowance to £323.

SNP MP Kirsten Oswald criticised the decision in the Commons last week, pointing out the daily rate was the same as the monthly payout for Universal Credit claimants.

The Sunday Times’ analysis found one peer, Lord Cunningham, claimed £79,000 last year, while making just 17 spoken contributions in the House. 

And Lord Paul claimed £48,000 in expenses despite his £2billion family fortune, and spoke only once in the chamber.

Millionaire Lord Bhatia, who has previously been suspended from the House over expense claims, cashed in £44,530 in expenses after turning up 149 out of a possible 161 days — yet did not address the House or sit on a committee.

More than 110 peers did not make any spoken or written contribution to the House during the year to March, it was found, but claimed a total of more than £1million.

A spokesperson for the House of Lords said: “The increase in the costs of House of Lords allowances in the 2018/19 financial year is largely due to a 25% increase in the number of days that the House sat, rising from 129 in 2017/18 to 161 in 2018/19. 

“As Members of the Lords can generally only claim allowances for days they attend the House any increase in sitting days is likely to produce an increase in the cost of Member’s allowances.”

They also defended the upper chamber’s record, adding: “The House of Lords is a busy and effective revising chamber which does an important job scrutinising legislation and holding the Government to account. 

“In the period covered by the Sunday Times article it made 2,513 changes to legislation; members tabled 8,072 written questions and 153 reports were produced by committee.”

Theresa May warned to expect criticism in Windrush report

Theresa May has been warned to expect criticism in an upcoming independent review into the Windrush scandal.

The former Tory PM served as Home Secretary under David Cameron between 2010 and 2016, and oversaw a “hostile environment” policy while Caribbean migrants were deported despite having the right to live in Britain. 

More than 80 Commonwealth citizens were deported despite having a legal right to remain in the UK.

According to the Times, Mrs May has been written to on behalf of the review, giving her the opportunity to respond to criticisms. 

The government’s willingness to deport ethnic minorities has reignited criticism in recent weeks, after more than 170 MPs called for a flight carrying 50 Jamaican deportees to be halted. 

It is understood some of those concerned came to Britain as children and, in the words of Labour MP Diane Abbott, “have no memory” of their country of birth.

A leaked draft of the Windrush review said the government should consider ending the deportation of foreign-born offenders who came to the UK as children. 

Home Secretary Priti Patel said each individual affected had been convicted of a “serious offence and received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more”. 

She added that under legislation introduced by Labour in 2007, “a deportation order must be made”.
