HC Deb 28 February 1995 vol 255 cc858-9
Mr. Jeremy Corbyn (Islington, North)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I want to raise through you the situation facing immigration detainees at Campsfield detention centre and, in particular, the case of a young woman from the Ivory Coast who attempted to commit suicide this morning in order to stop herself being removed from this country. Is there any way in which we can insist on a Home Office Minister coming to the House to make a statement about the treatment of nearly 700 people who are in detention having committed no crime and having been charged with no offence?

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Morris)

The Treasury Bench will have heard the hon. Gentleman. That is certainly not a matter for the Chair.

Mr. John Austin-Walker (Woolwich)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. Is it a different point of order?

Mr. Austin-Walker

It relates to the previous point of order—

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. With the greatest respect, I have already ruled on that point of order. I pointed out that the Treasury Bench had heard the hon. Member for Islington, North (Mr. Corbyn) and that it was not a matter for the Chair.
