HC Deb 28 November 1996 vol 286 c323W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if a person detained in prison for an immigration offence is kept informed of reviews of their case by the immigration services. [6212]

Mr. Kirkhope

Those detained in a prison or a detention centre under the powers contained in the immigration Act 1971 are advised in writing by the immigration service on a monthly basis of developments in their case. Detained asylum claimants receive separate monthly progress reports on their applications from the asylum directorate.
