To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to HM Chief Inspector of Prisons' Report on an unannounced inspection of short-term holding facilities at Western Jet Foil, Manston and Kent Intake Unit, what steps she has taken in response to the concern that during busy periods detainees had often been held for considerably longer in marquees in unacceptable conditions.

The Home Office’s responses to the Priority and Key Concerns set out in the HMIP report are covered in the Service Improvement Plan which is published on the HMIP website at Short-term holding facilities at Western Jet Foil, Manston and Kent Intake Unit (justiceinspectorates.gov.uk)
