Asylum: MOD Wethersfield
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many incidents of disorder there were at the Asylum Reception Centre at the former RAF Wethersfield between 1 July and 1 October 2024.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The safety and security of the local communities, the staff and those accommodated on the sites are of the utmost importance, with a specialist and experienced provider of security services permanently on site.
We also work closely and routinely with Essex Police to ensure appropriate security arrangements are in place. The Home Office also continues to engage regularly with representatives from the Council, the NHS, the Police, and local partners to address the concerns of those most impacted by the site and to keep them informed.
During the period 1 July to 1 October 2024, there has been one incident of disorder on site at Wethersfield.
