Explanation call


Mr Howard told BBC News: "When I was home secretary, I excluded people from the country who hadn't been convicted of a crime here.


"So I believe that either that power should be exercised without delay or, if there is some reason which I haven't thought of why it can't be exercised, we should be told very clearly what that reason is."
