Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the daily cost to the public purse is of detaining an individual in (a) a short-term holding facility and (b) an immigration removal centre.
The Home Office publishes, once a quarter, the average cost per day of immigration detention as part of Immigration Statistics. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-july-to-september-2016
The Home Office is not able to calculate the average daily cost of short term holding facilities and immigration removal centres without incurring disproportionate cost.
