In an Urgent Question on 10 February in the House of Commons Chamber Stephen pressed Immigration Minister Kevin Foster on how many people were booked on the deportation flight to Jamaica, and how many had been in the UK since childhood.
Stephen commented: “I cannot see how the Government can justify deporting people who have lived in the UK since childhood. It is deeply worrying that the Government appears to have adopted a dismissive attitude to this issue. Further deportations should be stopped until the Windrush lessons learned review is published.”
