Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the cost to the public purse of immigration detention (a) in total, (b) per person detained and (c) by detention centre in the 2024-25 financial year.

The total amount spent on immigration detention in the 2024/25 financial year will be published in the Home Office annual report and accounts in 2025.

The Home Office does not publish the costs associated with each Immigration Removal centre as this is commercially sensitive.
