Except it's not for Parliament to decide - my understanding is that the current proposals (for more deportations) don't require Parliamentary approval at all since they can be done using executive powers which come from legislation Parliament has approved in the past. Unless there's a sucessful move to repeal the legislation under which Parliament granted the Home Secretary these powers, there's very little that can be done to prevent him using them.
Lord Hoffman's eloquent and above all completely correct, comments are from the case decided last December re imprisioning foreigners suspected of terrorist links, who can't be deported because their countries of origin aren't considered safe, without trial for indefinite periods of time.
