When she expects (a) Adil Khan and (b) Qari Abdul Rauf, convicted for their part in a Rochdale grooming gang, to be deported.
The crimes committed by the Rochdale child sexual exploitation group are appalling and this Government is determined to take whatever action is available to us within the law to act against the perpetrators and protect the victims of their crimes.As part of our commitment to deliver justice for victims and safer streets for our communities, we have also made clear that any foreign nationals who commit these kinds of appalling crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and, where it is lawful and possible to do so, we will always pursue their deportation with the upmost vigour.The Hon Member will be aware that it is a longstanding Government policy not to comment publicly on individual cases, but I am happy to meet with him to discuss the action being taken in these and other cases related to the Rochdale child exploitation group.
