Regulations being laid in Parliament on Thursday set out the new rules for when the transition period ends, which treat EU and non-EU citizens the same.Any EU citizen sentenced to at least a year in prison will be barredEU citizens could also be banned if they were sentenced to less than a year in jail, with officials reviewing their full criminal history and links to the UK
People involved in a sham marriage could be banned from entry, and anyone breaching customs regulations could also be turned away. Officials said this could apply to people living on the streets who commit crimes or act in anti-social ways, such as aggressively begging. But with no long-term agreement on trade and other areas of co-operation with the EU when the transition agreement expires, the UK faces losing access to the European Criminal Records Information System and the EU's passenger database.Home Secretary Priti Patel said the rules would be "firmer and fairer", applying the same rules on criminality to people from all countries.
How many illegal immigrants crossing the channel in a dinghy have a criminal background? Make it a criminal offence to enter the UK illegally and deport. Stop this abuse.
Sort out stupid judges who make ludicrous decisions.
Sounds like someone has common sense. We want to protect our citizens.
Should never have been allowed in anyway
What about the non eu Ones then
I think it is only fair that we dont allow people in with more than minor criminal offences to their names. Anything worse than say shoplifting should rule them out. Also I refute people saying we will not have access to criminal intelligence after Brexit this would just be petty
The UK is fast becoming an ugly place to be.
That's great, but we should be barring anyone with a criminal record from anywhere.
Yeah going well at present isn't it? Checked all the folk boating across? They can't even test arrivals for covid at airports!
Well Conservatives have already banned vulnerable children from having much needed FreeSchoolMeals. They might as well turn their nasty politics elsewhere!
Presumably, the EU will all criminals from here. Don't worry, friends of Boris, I don't think he's ever been convicted in court.
Please God, tell me this will be reciprocal. Even better, please tell me the EU 27 will ban anyone from the UK with ANY criminal record.
It’s about time
ABOUT TIME
thats good
So we will be banning these nasty criminal types but we won’t actually know who they are 🤔 Seems well thought out.
BBCPolitics That’s more like it!
BBCPolitics Brexit U.K. always had power under EU law to control EU migration. Registration process, residency rules etc. Each state sets it’s own rules locally, not EU. U.K. CHOSE not to set any rules. Hungary’s are v complex. Spain’s are simple PoliticsLive
Ha ha, when we've left the EU we won't be able to tell who has a criminal record. LOL.
That's won't bode well for Eurovision should we ever come to host it again.
Does that mean that currently our doors are open to them?
Yeah! Till some woke human rights court deems it offensive to criminals.. 😉
Not going to happen. Our country is full of lawyers who live in big mansions paid for by legal aid who will always defend the undefendable.

Good news eh Femi_Sorry ?
Good, we need to get harsh at our borders like the Australians
Misleading again - it's a statement of intent, playing to a Priti audience who will love it, but if access is lost to shared EU intelligence, surely this becomes less effective than today, and the real risk is more not less can enter.(as Theresa May's bemused look made clear).
Great keep the shit away
Bit late.
Shouldn’t the headline be “Finally revealed: something positive from Brexit!” apart from a Blue passport of course
But won't ban the unknowns crossing the channel illegally. Things have got to be consistent.
First time I've agreed with the government in a very long time ✌
The whole world will know that You British are behind the massacre in Nigeria
What about non EU. The ones that Boris Blair is welcoming in kent every hour?
BBCPolitics Brought to you from the Tory Bias BBC. Criminals were never given a free ride but lost data by Tories allowed people to move freely who shouldn’t. ToryDataVanishes Like Grendel missing documents and ChildSexAbuseInquiry lost files. The TruthTwisters
BBCPolitics That was always an option
BBCPolitics Abba?
I thought the last piece of leg forcing the uk to kick out eu/non eu if 1 or more years sentenced in court. Why are thiose separate issues? Good enough anyway, it's finally getting sorted out, perhaps this finally will be a success ... or like always..
Yawn. Like virtually every other Brexit related ‘benefit’ trumpeted by this inept Gov’t, we could have barred criminals anyway but chose not to. Meanwhile, without a deal, we lose the benefits of cooperation, such as being able to identify criminals.
We didn't need brexit to do this, but whatever.
Not just EU members please, some other migrants have too
Just a thought.... What about those the UK are unable to check...
Brexit 🏪🏭🎢🏙 Always follow the smoke from the pipes, because England never know where Europe it might lead.
Why UK is giving protection to Altaf Hussain & Nawaz Sharif including his family? They all are also criminals and convicted from Pakistani courts. UK govt should handover them to Pakistani govt and returned back all those looted money which they invested in UK without money trail
Good. If there's one thing sorely lacking in this world is common sense..
Criminal not to
But they could still come here illegally and be welcomed with free lodgings and be entitled to PIP. Right?
Excellent News!
No brainer really 🙄
EU should do that too with UK .
What
The only criminals we should be concerned with at the moment are currently in Number 10
Expel Tommy Robinson from Britain then
The next question that should be asked is... 'why were people with criminal records allowed to enter the UK'
