Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the petition to stop the deportation of Osime Brown  receiving over 250,000 signatures, what plans they have (1) to assess the compassionate factors relating to his case, and (2) to review his deportation.

We only ever return those who we and, where applicable, the courts are satisfied do not need our protection and have no legal basis to remain in the UK. No action would be taken to deport an individual while there are outstanding legal barriers that would prevent their removal from the UK and until all outstanding representations have been considered.

It would be inappropriate to comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing.
