Debate
Immigration (Guidance on Detention of Vulnerable Persons) Regulations 2024Contribution
I hope that I have answered the questions put by noble Lords. If I have not, I will reflect on Hansard in good order and respond on those issues. I hope I can reassure noble Lords that the concerns they have raised are being absorbed by me and other Ministers. The review is ongoing and will be completed. At the end of that review, we will produce a regime that will have been revised in some ways based on our assessment of the need to protect people in detention, the need to maintain detention and the need to ensure that we do so in as humane a way as possible, respecting the fact that all individuals—even those who have no right to stay in this United Kingdom—are human beings and deserve to be treated in a way that respects their integrity and individuality. We may come a decision that they ultimately do not agree with, but it will be done in a fair and open process.
