“Under the new arrangements, the domestic office will be informed of all foreign nationals convicted of a crime … and will be able to use wider powers for other crimes,” the Ministry of the Interior said.
“Those who come to the UK should follow our laws,” Cooper said.
“The system for returning foreign criminals has been too weak for too long. We need much higher standards,” she added.
