answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The specific information requested could only be supplied at disproportionate cost.</p><p>Immigration detention is used as a last resort, sparingly and for enforced return where the person concerned has no right to remain in the United Kingdom. Each case is assessed by Home Office officials in line with published detention policy and there must be a realistic prospect of removal within a reasonable timescale.</p><p>It would be rare for detention to occur when there is any outstanding appeal, application or Judicial Review. Those who are detained could be notified of the outcome of an appeal, application, or Judicial Review; but this would be those applications, appeals or Judicial Reviews that are raised or lodged from within detention.</p><p>Transparency data in relation to immigration detention from November 2011 can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/681703/detention-oct-dec-2017-tables.ods" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/681703/detention-oct-dec-2017-tables.ods</a>.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 205335 question first answered 14/01/2019 15:54:37 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
