To maintain the highest standards of accuracy, the Home Office refers to published data, as this has been subject to rigorous quality assurance under National Statistics protocols prior to publication.

We do not routinely publish information about the number of reports under rule 32 of the Short-term Holding Facility Rules 2018, and rule 35 of the Detention Centre Rules 2001, and how many led to the release of an individual detained after a detention review.
