Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 17 January 2018 to Question 121760, what the (a) ethnicity, (b) race and (c) religion was of people who were detained in those immigration enforcement operations.

The Department does not routinely collect data on the ethnicity, race or religion of people who are encountered on immigration enforcement operations and subsequently detained. Any data that may be captured is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
