David Lammy has challenged the government over the Home Office’s decision to resume deportation flights to Jamaica, asking it to demonstrate that “black lives matter”.

In angry and emotional scenes in the Commons on Monday, fellow Labour MPs joined Lammy in condemning the scheduled deportation of 50 people on Tuesday before the release of a report on the Windrush scandal.

A leaked copy of the independent review by Wendy Williams, HM inspector of constabulary, suggests it will advise the government to end the removal of foreign-born offenders who came to the UK as children.

Lammy’s urgent question about the planned flight was answered by the immigration minister, Kevin Foster, after the home secretary, Priti Patel, left the chamber to jeers from MPs.

Lammy said: “The question today is: why have they resumed those flights? In light of the scandal of people who arrived in this country as children, how can he guarantee to the House that there are not people who are British nationals?

“And in the wake of the leak when Wendy Williams herself said that you should not be deporting people under the age of 13, can he confirm that there are people on that flight who arrived in this country aged two, aged three, aged five, aged 11?”

He added: “We are almost now two years on and people watching see the way this government holds in such disrespect the contribution of West Indian, Caribbean and black people in this country. When will black lives matter once again?”

Lammy accused the government of giving the impression that only murderers and rapists would be on the flight, when many were non-violent offenders.

Foster, who was appointed in January, said the Windrush review was independent and he had no control over when it would be released. He said the deportations were in line with a law passed in 2007 by the then Labour government.

Foster said: “Let’s be clear there are no British nationals on that flight. And let’s be clear the foreign national offenders on the flight have been sentenced to a total of 300 years in prison. The offences relate to everything from sex offending, serious drug trafficking offences. Violent offences, firearms offences … that is what is happening in this instance.”

Stuart McDonald, the Scottish National party’s immigration spokesman, said the government’s action could leave 41 British children without a father in the country and nine British citizens without partners or husbands.

The shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott, accused the minister of being dismissive towards Lammy during the urgent question.

She said: “One of the problems with this deportation flight is it’s not clear how many people on it came to this country as children. Is the minister aware that one thing the Windrush scandal teaches us is we need to be absolutely certain when we are deporting people in this way that we are clear about their immigration status?”

One of those due to be deported, Tajay Thomson, arrived in the UK in 2001 when he was five years old. Now 23, he has a conviction for a drugs offence and served a seven-month sentence in 2015.

Another of the men, a 24-year-old who moved to the UK when he was four, claimed he had been groomed into a county lines drugs gang while in prison.

Another, Reshawn Davis, 30, is being removed over his conviction for robbery 10 years ago under the now unlawful “joint enterprise” rule.

Labour’s Shabana Mahmood said Foster was being “willingly obtuse”.

She said: “The minister should not hide behind the 2007 law on deportation when he knows full well that the reason for our concerns relate to our expectation that the independent review will say when it’s published that those who came to this country as children should not be deported, and this flight should not go ahead before that review is officially published and its recommendations published in full.

“Surely that is the only way that we will know we have not deported our own citizens.”

Foster said that if the flight was stopped, the government would not be abiding by legal duties and serious offenders would remain in the country. He said the deportation of criminals was unconnected to the people who came to the UK as part of the Windrush generation.

More than 100 protesters braved heavy rain on Monday night to demonstrate outside Downing Street against the planned charter flight on Tuesday morning. They chanted “black communities have the right, here to stay, here to fight” and “no charter flight, respect human rights”.
