But those who abuse our hospitality, commit violent offences and are then sent to prison need to be deported at the end of their sentences. Will my right hon. and learned Friend update the House on how many were deported last year, and what action he will take to ensure that foreign nationals who are violent offenders are automatically deported whe…full text ↗
My right hon. Friend is quite right to have a light-touch approach to vetting for those seeking security. Clearly, large numbers of the people arriving will be vulnerable—they will be women and children—and ideally they will be placed with families with connections. However, inevitably, some will be placed with others. Will he go further and explain who will do the vetting—will it be local authorities or be done nationally—to ensure that these vulnerable people are not placed with anyone who may exploit them?

Action: Introduces legislation strengthening animal welfare standards in livestock farming — banning cages, ending routine preventative antibiotic use, and limiting the scale of intensive operations.
UK: Higher welfare standards in UK livestock farming may increase production costs, potentially reducing the economic competitiveness of intensive livestock operations relative to plant-based alternatives, which are associated with lower greenhouse gas emissions and land use impacts.
Global: UK animal welfare legislation could raise the floor for export market access standards, encouraging trading partners to adopt similar practices, which may contribute to global reductions in antimicrobial resistance and improvements in animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
