Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of the asylum seekers housed at Campsfield House had their claims approved in each of the last five years before its closure.
The contract to run Campsfield House immigration removal centre ended in May 2019 and the Home Office decided not to extend or re-tender the contract at that time.
Prior to the centre’s closure it was used to detain those facing deportation or removal from the UK. It was not used as asylum accommodation to house people seeking asylum.
