Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) British citizens, (b) EEA nationals and (c) individuals with leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain have been wrongfully detained in immigration detention centres in each of the last five years; and will she make a statement.
Providing the information requested would require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.
All complaints to Immigration Enforcement are investigated. An apology will be offered where it is found that an error has been made.
