Situation at Campsfield House unacceptable

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Thu 19th Jun 2008

Commenting on news that seven men broke out of Campsfield House detention centre in Kidlington this morning, local Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris said:

"This further incident at Campsfield House is unacceptable for local residents and for the welfare of staff and detainees alike.

"It seems that lessons have not been learned following previous disturbances and it is time for a proper, fully independent investigation.

"There is something wrong with the way the Home Office is operating the system, or the way GEO is running the centre and I will be speaking to Home Office minister Liam Byrne as soon as possible."
