uin	87792
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2022 answer text <p>This information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. The costs of running Manston immigration facility sit across multiple different DG-led commands within the Home Office and are attributed to a number of different budgets and funding streams. The work to reconcile these figures is complex and requires careful separation from other BAU costs which are already borne by the Department. Additionally, and in keeping with normal commercial practices, some contracted activity for recent months has not yet been billed by the suppliers in question. However, we are working at pace to be able to provide this information at the upcoming Home Secretary’s’ Home Affairs Select Committee attendance.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 22/11/2022 12:48:50 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick previous answer version 35527 answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
