Mistreatment of Detainees at Brook House Immigration Removal Centre Inquiry

Written Question House of Commons
Bell Ribeiro-Addy · Labour Answering body: Home Office
Parliamentary excerpt

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's policy paper entitled Government response to the Brook House Inquiry report, published on 19 March 2024, what progress her Department has made on implementing the recommendations of that report.

Government answer

Answering body: Home Office

The abuse that took place at Brook House Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) in 2017 was unacceptable.

The previous government published its response to the public inquiry into Brook House IRC on 19 March 2024, summarising the progress made since 2017 and addressing each of the ten key areas of concern raised in the report.

The new government is carefully considering the Inquiry’s recommendations and will set out its approach in due course.
