Tug Haven and Western Jet Foil: Ministers of Religion

Question for Home Office

UIN HL3642, tabled on 22 November 2022

To ask His Majesty's Government why there is a bar on chaplains and other faith leaders visiting detainees at Tug Haven and Western Jet Foil; and what plans they have, if any, to lift this ban.

Tug Haven closed in January 2022. There is no bar on chaplains attending Western Jetfoil.

However, there is currently no provision to do so as people are only held there on a very short term basis whilst basic medical checks and searching takes place.
