To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether special measures have been put in place to ensure the safety and security of those involved in appeal hearings before the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in respect of those prisoners detained under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lammy

I have been asked to reply.

Following consultation with the City of London Police and the Security Services a number of new measures have been implemented to ensure the safety and security of those involved in appeal hearings before the Special Immigration Appeals Commission. However, for reasons of security we would not wish to make public any specific details of the additional measures put into place.
