Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons her Department has not yet responded to the North and Midlands Independent Monitoring Board for Short-term Holding Facilities, Annual Report 2016; and if she will make a statement.

Further to my earlier answers to the Honourable Member for Barnsley Central and the honourable Member for High Peak, I will review the annual report of the North and Midlands Independent Monitoring Board for Short-Term Holding Facilities and respond within the next two weeks.
