answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2018 answer text <p>I refer the hon. Member to the replies previously given on 6 March 2018, PQs 129872, 129873, 129874 and 129875. Whilst it is not possible to prevent all oil spills into the river, in this incident, the Environment Agency have traced the waste oil to a potential polluter, details of which cannot currently be released due to the ongoing investigation. In previous incidents where oil pollution was not traced to a particular source, the Environment Agency carried out pollution prevention visits at industrial premises which drain to the Pymmes Brook.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 14/03/2018 16:07:32 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>Providing the information requested would require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p><p>Detention and removal are essential aspects of effective immigration control. The cases of all individuals being considered for immigration detention are routed through the detention gatekeeper. The gatekeeper considers the suitability of the detention of each individual, in line with general detention policy and, when the individuals concerned are regarded as vulnerable, with the adults at risk in immigration detention policy.</p><p>Regular reviews of an individual’s detention are undertaken to ensure that it their detention remains lawful and appropriate. Individuals can apply to Immigration Judges at any time for release on bail, and individuals (other than foreign national offenders) are referred automatically for consideration of bail after four months in detention and thereafter at four monthly intervals. Home Office officials will work with any detainee at any time to end their detention if they decide to leave the UK voluntarily.</p><p>Individuals who believe they have been unlawfully detained can, in addition to the complaints procedure, launch legal proceedings (JR and private law claims). The fact that a court may subsequently rule that an individual has been unlawfully detained does not necessarily mean the original decision was taken in bad faith. In addition, a court's findings may only relate to only certain aspects of the detention.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 13/03/2018 17:31:59 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
