Written Question
Immigration: Detention Centres
Tuesday 8th December 2015

Asked by: Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government on how many occasions the fire brigade has been called to an incident at a migrant detention centre in each of the last five years.

Answered by Lord Bates

Information for the complete data period requested is not held centrally.

Provisional management information available on the number of attendances by the fire brigade for fires at immigration removal centres from January 2013 is provided below in line with the period for published statistics:

Jan to Dec 2013 - 12 incidents

Jan to Dec 2014 - 10 incidents

Jan to Sep 2015 - 8 incidents

Attendances by the fire brigade for incidents other than fires during the same data period could only be provided by examination of individual records so this information cannot be provided except at disproportionate cost.
