Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench) on Monday, 21 November 2022, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 5 December 2022. It was answered by Lord Murray of Blidworth (Conservative) on Monday, 5 December 2022 on behalf of the Home Office.
Migrants: Detainees
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many individuals were held in immigration detention at the (1) Dover, (2) Manston, and (3) Napier Barracks, immigration centres on the most recent dates for which data are available; and what is the normal capacity of each facility.
- Answer
-
Western Jetfoil at Dover is a reception area for individuals rescued from the Channel. Napier Barracks is not a detention facility. No individuals are held under immigration detention at either Western Jetfoil or Napier Barracks.
Manston is a processing centre and short-term holding facility, not a detention facility. As of 1500hrs on 24 November 2022, no persons were held under immigration detention at Manston. Manston provides a mix of different types of accommodation to allow the Home Office to flex to meet the demands of fluctuating numbers and cohorts of people crossing the Channel. That inevitably brings a level of fluidity to capacity levels.
