Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

"Does the noble Baroness accept that there is a problem with that situation, which happens often at the crisis level and not the early intervention level? It also excludes any organisation, such as a voluntary sector agency, that may be working with a child if they are not one of …..."

Speech in Lords Chamber - Wed 17 Nov 2021
Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

"My Lords, I thank the Minister. My amendment takes out the part that states that a person “ought to have known” that someone else was carrying, rather than that person carrying. That is the bit that is particularly pernicious in terms of the woman that I was talking about...."

Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

"My Lords, I want to speak about a specific group who will be affected by some of the Bill’s provisions. I suspect that I would not need to make this speech had the Government accepted the amendment I moved during the passage of the Domestic Abuse Act, which would have …..."

Napier Barracks Asylum Accommodation

"My Lords, this has been a sorry tale, which, more than anything else, has exposed that the Government either did not know or were avoiding telling Parliament what was happening. Part of the next phase is the opening of a detention centre—I think that is what it is being called—in …..."

Domestic Abuse Bill

"My Lords, I am going to be very disciplined in this Bill—some people may say that that is a bit unusual for me—and speak only to those things that are not part of the criminal justice system. I am concerned that overall the Bill has been dominated by the criminal …..."

Domestic Abuse Bill

"My Lords, it is my pleasure to move this amendment which relates to the training of all front-line workers. We took away the comments and ideas from the Minister in Committee and have brought back a much more modest amendment. It removes the public duty but does lay out a …..."

Written Question
Hassockfield Secure Training Centre
Monday 15th February 2021

Asked by: Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish their plans relating to the former Hassockfield Young Offenders Centre in Medomsley.

Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford - Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)

The immigration removal estate is kept under ongoing review to ensure that the Home Office has sufficient capacity, in the right places and that it provides value for money.

The Home Office has acquired the former Hassockfield Secure Training Centre in County Durham and will open it as an immigration removal centre by the Autumn. Initial discussions with the planning authority have taken place and work will commence at the site shortly.

In order to meet operational needs and demands, we will continue to operate the immigration removal estate, in a flexible manner.
