Answer
The government has the deepest sympathy for the men who suffered sexual or physical abuse while detained at Medomsley Detention Centre.
A judicial review claim has been launched in regard to the government’s decision not to hold a public inquiry into Medomsley. It would be inappropriate to comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing.
