Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre (11 January 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will ensure that there is no cross-over between the residents of Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre and the asylum seekers to be homed in temporary accommodation on the same site.

Asked by:
Mohammad Yasin (Labour)

To ensure we have sufficient accommodation available to meet our statutory obligations we are planning to use a vacant site adjacent to the existing Immigration Removal Centre to accommodate single, adult male asylum seekers.

Asylum seekers on this adjacent site are separate from the Immigration Removal Centre and are free to come and go as they please.
