The underlying datasets for the most recent published figures, show that of the adults detained as at 30 September 2018 none entered detention while under 18 years of age.

Information on people in detention, broken down by quarter, is available in the detention tables in the latest releases of ‘Immigration Statistics, year ending September 2018’, available from the Home Office website at:
