Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish her Department's risk assessment for its policy of seizing medicines in short-term holding centres.

We take the welfare of people in our care extremely seriously and we continue to improve our short-term holding facilities. Individual risk assessments are conducted on all individuals entering a detention facility. Suitability for detention is assessed on a case-by-case basis with consideration of appropriate escalation points to safeguard individuals with vulnerabilities, including on prescribed medication.
