Jon Snow - Channel 4 PresenterコミュのHome Secretary resists calls to resign

Home Secretary Charles Clarke has resisted calls to resign following the deportation fiasco.

Pressure on Mr Clarke intensified after it emerged that he took three weeks to inform the Prime Minister of the 1,023 foreign offenders released from prison without being considered for deportation.

Conservative leader David Cameron said: "Not only did he not tell the Prime Minister, more seriously he didn't tell the police. Crimes have been committed by these offenders. He has to take responsibility. He has to resign."

The Conservatives have also urged Mr Clarke to make an early statement to MPs. The Home Secretary had previously given assurance that he would provide an update by the end of the week.

In an interview with his local newspaper in Norwich, Mr Clarke insisted that he was the man to sort out the crisis.

Shadow home secretary David Davis urged Mr Clarke to keep the public informed about attempts to track down 1,023 offenders released from prison without being considered for deportation.

Mr Clarke defended his record and insisted it was right that he remain in office.

He told his local paper: "I have tried to deal with some fundamental issues.

"We have still got some challenges which still need to be completed and I think I am the best person to carry that through."
