Overcrowding, delays and disease blighted the government's previous large-scale migrant detention centre - can Scampton avoid those mistakes?
Overcrowding, delays and disease – it is crucial that the Home Office learns from the lessons of the past as it proceeds with migrant camp plans at RAF Scampton.
The plan was for migrants to be held there for short periods of time while security and identity checks took place – but the reality was far from this vision. Claims were made that migrants had been sleeping on cardboard due to a lack of beds, prompting an outbreak of diphtheria at the centre.The Home Office said that a migrant who died in hospital on November 19, following a time being held at Manston, may have been a result of diphtheria – and just three days later the site was empty.
This recent revelation at RAF Scampton is not the first time the Home Office have allegedly gone behind the backs of local authorities to push through their immigration policy plans – and it is imperative that the same mistakes aren’t made inside the base itself, should it go ahead.Morton Hall in Swinderby, near Lincoln. | Photo: Home Office
A report from the Home Affairs Committee in 2019 found that the Home Office had been “utterly failing” in its responsibility to oversee safe and humane practices for those at the site. While the situations at Morton Hall and RAF Scampton fall under different circumstances, the Home Office will be keen to ensure that scandals of this nature do not reemerge at Scampton.The Home Office and Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s proposals have been widely condemned across the local community, not least by Lincolnshire MPs and councillors.
