Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stella Creasy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

Does my hon. and learned Friend agree that we should move to not detaining vulnerable people at all? It is expensive and immoral. In this amendment, we see some movement on that, because after all, we consider pregnant women to be vulnerable, but given that two thirds of the women in places such as Yarl’s Wood are victims of sexual violence in conflict, we really should not detain any of them at all.
