Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people are detained in prison for immigration control purposes under the service level agreement between her Department and the National Offender Management Service; and when that agreement is due to be renewed.

As at 15 December 2014 there were 394 detainees held in prison establishments
in England and Wales solely under Immigration powers as set out in the
Immigration Act 1971 or UK Borders Act 2007.

The current Service Level Agreement between the Home Office and National
Offender Management Service (NOMS) ends on 31 March 2015. The Home Office is
in negotiation with NOMS to renew the agreement.
