Jacqui Smith: Gary Glitter 'should not be allowed to leave' the UK
Gary Glitter, the 1970s Glam Rock star, should not be allowed to leave the UK after he lands on British soil, the Home Secretary said today.
But, in reality, Jacqui Smith is powerless to stop Glitter travelling overseas unless police have evidence that he is intending to travel to commit child sex offences.
Glitter, 64, will be met by Metropolitan Police officers when he arrives in Britain tomorrow, interviewed about his plans and told he will go on the sex offenders register.
“We need to control him, and he will be, once he returns to this country," Ms Smith said.
