Immigration Centre Detainees: Pay

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to review rates of pay for work undertaken by immigration centre detainees.

My Lords, paid work is provided in immigration removal centres as a means to meet the

recreational and intellectual needs of detainees and to relieve boredom. The work is not compulsory. All policies and processes are kept under review, and an internal review of the rate of pay of detainees is under way.
