HC Deb 05 March 1987 vol 111 c694W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were detained for how many hours per day in the annexe of the Harmondsworth detention centre; what exercise and recreation are available to persons detained in the annexe; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Waddington

Since the Harmondsworth detention centre annexe opened on 10 November 1986, its average nightly occupancy has been 28.4 up to and including the night of 3 March 1987. Facilities include grassed and hard-standing exercise areas, a television/video room and table tennis room. The annexe is a separate self-contained unit run on similar lines to the main Harmondsworth detention centre which is on the same site.
