Home Department written question – answered at on 23 November 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department by what mode of transport individuals detained prior to removal are transported from locations in Scotland to UK Border Agency facilities or departure ports in other parts of the UK.
Detainees are normally moved by road in escorting vehicles. All the vehicles used by the UK Border Agency's escorting contractor must provide appropriate security while ensuring the welfare of detainees is maintained. This includes making every effort to minimise the amount of time they spend in vehicles. Detainees may occasionally be transferred from Scotland to departure ports in other parts of the UK by domestic flight.
