Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recommendations by the Chief Inspector of Prisons following his visits to immigration detention facilities on the south coast of England; and how many of those recommendations have been implemented.

In September 2020, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons carried out an unannounced inspection of the detention of migrants arriving in Dover in small boats. The report was published in October 2020, and the government’s response to the report was published at the same time.

The report made 20 recommendations of which the government accepted 19. At the time of publishing the government’s response to the report, all the accepted recommendations had been either completed or partially completed.
