OXFORD West and Abingdon MP Layla Moran has backed plans to close immigration detention centres after visiting Campsfield House in Kidlington yesterday.

With the Liberal Democrat party nationally adopting plans to close immigration detention centres, Ms Moran called for the 'long-overdue closure of Campsfied, but added: “The facilities and treatment of those detained at Campsfield is good quality and all credit to the staff who do a great job in difficult circumstances. However, they are working in a broken system.

"The Lib Dems are backing a plan to close eight out of 10 immigration centres, which would all but guarantee Campsfield closing."
