House of Lords  -  1 Oct 2007 : Column WA171

Lord Hylton asked Her Majesty's Government:
What action was taken between January and July 2007, following the submission of 703 reports from detention centres to the Border and Immigration Agency concerning allegations of previous torture or rape; and, in particular, how many reports led to the release of detainees. [HL4910]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord West of Spithead):
Officials in the Border and Immigration Agency who are in receipt of such information and who are responsible for managing a person's detention and/or asylum decision consider the content of the report and whether it has implications for the relevant person's detention and application.

The outcomes of these reports are not held centrally and, as such, the information required could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
