Part (a): For FY 2010/11 and 2011/12, the Home Office does not hold the information in the format requested. Our ledger will not allow us to provide this level of detail for that Financial Year
Taking “wrongful” to be equivalent to “unlawful”, compensation for unlawful detention claims for FYs 2012/13 onwards are included in the table below:
Unlawful Detention Claims Paid
Year | £m |
2016/17 | 3.3 |
2015/16 | 4.1 |
2014/15 | 4.0 |
2013/14 | 4.8 |
2012/13 | 5.0 |
These figures were provided under previous PQ UIN 121985.
