Section 45 extends the current automatic deportation provisions in the UK Borders Act 2007 so that the duty to make a deportation order in respect of a person sentenced to a period of imprisonment of at least 12 months for an offence committed in the UK, includes where that sentence was suspended.
	It also amends the meaning of "period of imprisonment" in Part 5A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 so that a person given a suspended sentence of 12 months or more meets the definition of a foreign criminal for the purpose of a court or tribunal considering an appeal against the refusal of an ECHR Article 8 claim.
