MPs have demanded an end to a controversial UK immigration rule that allows for the deportation of immigrants sleeping rough on Britain’s streets. Labour MP, Claudia Webb, led fresh calls for the government to scrap its policy that sanctions a person’s deportation if they are homeless.
Under UK immigration rules that came into force on 1 December 2020, sleeping rough can be grounds for the Home Office to refuse or cancel a person’s permission to be in Britain. The Home Office has insisted that it will apply the rule ‘sparingly’.
However, a motion tabled by Ms Webbe has raised concerns over the ‘very broad scope of grounds’ that can be used to refuse or cut short someone’s stay in the UK. The Labour MP’s motion has been backed by a wide range of cross-party MPs, including Tim Farron, the former Liberal Democrat leader.
