Illegal Migration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Diana Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2023. It occurred during Speaker's statement and Debate on bills on Illegal Migration Bill.

My hon. Friend mentioned detention, and a number of amendments have been tabled today on that topic. I listened carefully to what the Minister said about detaining unaccompanied children, but I also wanted to ask my hon. Friend for his views on detaining children, families with children and pregnant women. This House has made very clear in the past its view about safeguards being required for the detention of the vulnerable groups I have just described. Does he think that we now need to think again about the detention of pregnant women and families with children?
