Written evidence to be reported to the House
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

Edward Garnier (Shadow Minister, Justice; Harborough, Conservative)
Do you think that the commissioner’s remit will be wide enough in terms of premises? From my own experience, and from briefings and so on with outside bodies, I have concerns about the fact that you cannot look at every form of involuntary custody. I accept that the military system is excluded—it is under a different set-up—but is the remit sufficient to cover all local authority involuntary accommodation?
