The Bishop of Chelmsford received the following written answers on 25th November 2024:
The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford asked His Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by Lord Hanson of Flint on 14 October (HL Deb cols 17GC–20GC), when they intend to publish the terms of reference for the Home Office review into immigration detention, including Rule 34 and 35 of the detention centre rules.
Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab, Home Office): The Adults at Risk review should be completed by Spring 2025. It is a wholesale review of the Adults at Risk policy, including Rule 34 and Rule 35 of the detention centre rules. To ensure the review is not constrained, there are no formal terms of reference.
The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford asked His Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by Lord Hanson of Flint on 14 October (HL Deb cols 17GC–20GC), whether the review into immigration detention will consider the recommendations of the Brook House Inquiry and reassess which of its recommendations to accept.
Lord Hanson of Flint: The Adults at Risk review forms part of the response to one of the recommendations of the Brook House Inquiry (Recommendation 9: Review of the operation of Rule 35 of the Detention Centre Rules 2001). However, it will not cover all areas of the Brook House Inquiry and will not reassess the recommendations made.
