Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of people who resided temporarily at immigration removal centres in (a) 2022, (b) 2023 and (c) 2024 were male adults.

The Home Office publish quarterly data on immigration detention statistics. This can be found on the gov.uk website at: Immigration Enforcement data: Q2 2025 - GOV.UK. Data on the number of adult males entering immigration removal centres (IRC) by year is provided in table ‘Det_D01’ and the number of people in detention (at end of period) is provided in ‘Det_D02’.

A weekly allowance of £5 for individuals detained in IRCs was introduced prior to 2006 to enable purchases of additional food and other items from the IRC shop.
