Diana Johnson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy not to issue any future deportation notices to foreign-born doctors currently working in the NHS.

Mr Robert Goodwill

Doctors from overseas seeking to remain in the UK are expected to meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules in the same way as any other migrant.

Should they fail to qualify to remain in the UK under the Immigration Rules they will be expected to leave the UK voluntarily but should they fail to do so then steps may be taken to enforce their departure.
