MPs reject Tory rebel bid to deport more foreign criminals
Live video from the House of Commons.
MPs have voted to reject a bid by rebel Tory MPs to stop foreign criminals using European human rights law to avoid deportation, by 241 to 97.
But MPs did vote in favour of Home Secretary Theresa May's plan to strip foreign-born terror suspects of UK citizenship by 297 to 34.
David Cameron said he was in favour of making it easier to deport criminals.
But he ordered Tory ministers to abstain rather than back the rebels over concerns their plan was illegal.
