PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Medomsley Detention Centre (25 February 2020)

Question Asked

If he will commission an independent inquiry into the physical and sexual abuse at Medomsley Detention Centre.

Asked by:
Mr Richard Holden (Conservative)

Answer

This is a highly emotive issue and I understand how difficult it must be for the survivors of abuse and their families.

These matters remain the subject of a criminal investigation and legal action in the civil courts. Therefore, it would be inappropriate at present to commission an inquiry.
