Home secretary Shabana Mahmood has set out laws that could pave the way to deport the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang, as the government also plans to threaten Pakistan if it does not take the offender back.
Ms Mahmood announced that she would change the Immigration and Asylum Bill, which passed its second reading in the Commons on Monday night, to remove immunity under the 1971 Immigration Act which would prevent Shabir Ahmed being deported.
