Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) on Wednesday, 10 April 2013.
Immigration: Deportation
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, following the report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons of October 2012 on the Cedars pre-departure accommodation for families, whether they will order the UK Border Agency, and its contractors, not to use force when deporting pregnant women and children.[HL6317]
- Answer
-
The recommendation in the report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons on Cedars pre-departure accommodation that force should never be used to effect the removal of pregnant women and children was rejected by the UK Border Agency. However, the UK Border Agency has taken the decision to adopt a policy not to use force solely to effect removal in such cases until a consultation on its use has taken place.
