The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of what the capacity of Manston will be following the completion of the Manston Transformation Programme.

Answered by Alex Norris

There are no plans to increase capacity, and this is being reduced as efficiencies have been made to the processing of arrivals and asylum case working.
