answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2014 answer text <p>The main purpose of the UK detention facility on Diego Garcia, commonly known as the reception centre, is to hold illegal fishermen caught in the Territory's waters. It was opened in 2007. BIOT Administration records show that between the point of it opening and January 2009, only one person has been imprisoned there for a period of 10 days during 2008 for an offence of assault. In September, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office released information following a Freedom of Information Act request which showed that a number of Sri Lankans were also held during the period he asks about, for offences related to illegally fishing in BIOT waters. These were held in the police station which is located next to the reception centre.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 07/11/2014 14:52:46 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
