PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Detention Centres: Bexhill (23 July 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has for the Northeye detention centre in Bexhill.

Asked by:
Dr Kieran Mullan (Conservative)

Answer

We have got to work straight away on fixing the asylum system and protecting our border.

That has already included a surge in capacity on returning failed asylum seekers, as demonstrated by last week’s flight to Vietnamand Timor-Leste. I will be considering options and will take a view on the future use of the Northeye site in due course.
