It seems to me that the more that we can separate the asylum process from, as it were, the criminal process, the better both for the police and also for asylum seekers. I wonder if you could say a little bit more about what you think or what you are likely to want to say to the Home Secretary in discussion on these questions when you talk to him about it. What would be the process of moving towards a single, dedicated detention centre? How would that actually happen?
