Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the maximum compensation made to a person wrongly detained by the Home Office was in each of the last three years.
This question was answered on 4th July 2018
The Home Office does not record ‘Wrongful detention’ as a payment type. The figures the Home Office has for compensation are recorded as “unlawful detention”. Our records indicate that the highest compensation payments for unlawful detention for FYs 2014/15 onwards are listed below
FY 2014/15 £125k
FY 2015/16 £120k
FY 2016/17 £125k
