MPs back terror citizenship move

MPs back plan to strip terror suspects of UK citizenship

 

Live video from the House of Commons.

MPs have voted in favour of Home Secretary Theresa May's plan to strip some terror suspects of UK citizenship by 297 to 34.

The proposal was a last minute addition to the government's Immigration Bill.

They are now voting on proposals to ban foreign criminals from using European human rights law to avoid deportation.

That amendment - proposed by backbench Tory rebel Dominic Raab - is likely to be defeated despite David Cameron saying he agreed with it in principle.
