Following on from the Brook House Inquiry, we were saddened to see the recent publication of another independent report this time showing that since then safety has got worse for the people detained there. The findings were published in the annual report by the independent monitoring board for the Gatwick immigration removal centre.

One of our key messages for the new government is that we feel that they should go back to the Brook House Inquiry, completed under the last government, and this time to give it the respect that it deserves and to produce a proper report on the action to be taken to remedy the problems at this detention centre.
