Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on the deportations of members of the Rochdale Grooming Gang; and if she will make a statement.

This Government has always been clear that the crimes committed by the Rochdale child sexual exploitation group, who preyed on the young and vulnerable, have no place in our society.

We are determined to pursue all legal options against these perpetrators, to protect the victims of these appalling crimes and a make our communities safer.

While we understand the public interest in these cases, we do not routinely comment on individual cases. We will continue to keep the victims informed through the proper channels.
