Huw seeks clarity on 'detained' Northeye proposal with Immigration Minister

Huw Letterhead

Following the Home Office's update on the proposal on Northeye in late August, and the subsequent updating on the online Factsheet, I wrote to the Minister of State for Immigration, Robert Jenrick, asking for his confirmation that the only proposal being looked at for the site is that of a 'detained' facility. 

You can read my letter to the Minister, and his response, in the attachments below.

Statement from Huw Merriman MP

After 9 years as the Member of Parliament for Bexhill and Battle, I have made the decision not to stand as a candidate at the next election. This means I will also leave my job as Rail Minister on 4 July. I have loved being an MP and I leave with a heavy heart.
