Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

How many of those detained because they are seeking asylum or are failed asylum seekers are diagnosed with mental health problems? Has that information been sought? Is a doctor or another professional able to assess it? Furthermore, how many have claimed that they are victims of torture? If figures or some sort of guidance were available, I should be happy to receive them.
