Sentencing BillContribution
I agree that there need to be consequences and a deterrent for foreign national offenders seeking to unlawfully return to the UK after removal. The “stop the clock” provision already means that those who re-enter the UK in breach of their deportation order following an ERS removal are liable to serve the remainder of their sentence. We will be exploring whether guidance should introduce a stronger presumption that they are not considered for early removal again.
