HC Deb 31 March 1994 vol 240 c943W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list those establishments to which detainees, formerly detained at Campsfield House detention centre, have been sent; how many of those detainees are currently refusing to eat; how regularly such detainees are seen by a doctor; how many detainees have been moved more than once, to date, after leaving Campsfield; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Since 18 February detainees at Campsfield house have been transferred to the following establishments:

  • Harmondsworth Detention Centre
  • Queens Building, Heathrow
  • Stockton Hall Hospital
  • HM Prison Birmingham
  • HM Prison Blakenhurst
  • HM Prison Bullingdon
  • HM Prison Holloway

One detainee only, in Binningham prison, continues to refuse meals.

All detainees have daily access to a doctor. Those who claim to have refused meals for four days or more are closely monitored by a doctor at least once a day.

Information on the number of detainees moved more than once, after leaving Campsfield, is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
