To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many detainees currently in Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre who claim to have suffered persecution in their home country claim to have suffered (a) state and (b) non-state violence.

Mr Robert Goodwill

Information on the reasons for a claim for asylum is not readily accessible from central statistical records and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost through a manual search of individual case files.
