Would it not be outrageous if a foreign criminal in one part of this United Kingdom faced deportation as the will of the House, but another foreign criminal convicted for the same offence in my part of the United Kingdom was cocooned from deportation? Would that not be an outrage to the sovereignty of this House? Would it not also create a magnet for foreign criminals, who, if they were to indulge in crime, would know that the best place to do so would be the place from which they could not be deported?
