Too much violence at migrant centre, report finds

A report has found too many violent incidents happen at Brook House immigration removal centre, near Gatwick Airport.

But the HM Inspectorate of Prisons added that "commendable progress" had been made on several issues at Brook House.

It comes after a BBC investigation found self-harm, cases of violence and use of restraint rose at the West Sussex site last year.

The Home Office said it continued to take all action necessary to improve conditions and safeguards at immigration detention facilities.
