Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the review of welfare in immigration detention conducted by Stephen Shaw will include an assessment of the potential benefits of a time limit on detention.
The follow up to the independent review by Stephen Shaw CBE into the welfare in detention of vulnerable persons started on 4 September 2017.
The final report is a matter for Mr Shaw, but the findings of his earlier review included recommendations relating to the use of detention and legal safeguards against excessive use of detention.
