Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government why the Portuguese citizen, Marcos Amaral Gourgel, who died in Westminster Underground station on 14 February and who had been deported from the UK after his release from serving a custodial sentence for child sex offences, was able on two occasions to re-enter the UK.
We do not routinely comment on individual cases.
We conduct border security checks on all passengers arriving in the UK at passport control. Where we are aware of individuals who pose a risk, Border Force officers can - and do - refuse them entry.
