Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of undertaking an inquiry into historic abuse at Medomsley Detention Centre.
This question was answered on 11th January 2023
The government has the deepest sympathy for the men who suffered sexual or physical abuse while detained at Medomsley Detention Centre.
A judicial review claim has been launched in regard to the government’s decision not to hold a public inquiry into Medomsley. It would be inappropriate to comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing.
