Alan Duncan: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many foreign national prisoners have been detained under immigration powers in (a) immigration removal centres and (b) prison for over 12 months. [313211]
Mr. Woolas: In 2009, for an average month, approximately 550 foreign national prisoners were detained in prison beyond the end of their sentence-so called time-served prisoners. In addition, for an average month, approximately 1,250 foreign national prisoners were detained in a UK Border Agency Removal Centre (IRC) (including Dover, Haslar and Lindholme). Of these two cohorts, for an average month in 2009, approximately a fifth is likely to have been detained for more than a year after the end of their sentence. This detention will have been in a prison, an IRC or a combination of both. On Hansard |
