Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether proceedings are being (a) considered and (b) brought against any individual members of (i) her Department's and (ii) G4S staff as a result of investigations arising from BBC Panorama's investigation into Brook House.

The Government takes detainee welfare very seriously. Immediate action has been taken in response to the allegations raised by BBC Panorama. Sussex police has begun an investigation to establish whether criminal offences have been committed.

G4S has suspended ten officers and is carrying out full investigations. The Home Office has suspended a former G4S officer, now a Home Office employee, and is carrying out an investigation.
