Commenting on today's break-out at the Campsfield detention centre, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

"This is the fifth major disturbance at Campsfield in little over a year and the second in a week. It raises serious questions about the wisdom of mixing foreign national ex-prisoners with immigration detainees.

"The frequency of fires and escapes suggests there are significant problems with either the Home Office system or the management of Campsfield itself."
