§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the insurance policy on H M Removal Centre Harmondsworth will cover the cost of repairing the recent damage as well as additional expense incurred by the Immigration and Nationality Directorate on providing alternative accommodation, together with facilities for the interviewing and, where necessary, escorting and removal of Harmondsworth inmates, while repairs are being carried out. [HL3946]
§ Baroness Scotland of AsthalThe insurance contract requires the contractor to effect insurance in respect of these expenses, and confirmation of the coverage being in place has been received. The policy should therefore respond to both damage caused and additional expenses incurred subject to the specific terms and conditions, including deductibles, of the policy.
