Lee Agnew
BBC Three Counties Radio
The government is announcing a new 72-hour time limit on the detention of pregnant women in immigration custody, but it means expectant mothers will still be held at Yarl's Wood detention centre in Bedfordshire.
South Beds News AgencyCopyright: South Beds News Agency
The time limit has been announced despite the House of Lords voting in favour of banning the detention of pregnant women. It also follows a government-commissioned report which also recommended a ban, but the Home Secretary Theresa May says it has to strike the right balance between safeguarding pregnant women and maintaining effective immigration control.
The Refugee Council says it is "disappointing" the government has "chosen to defy the Lords, defy public opinion and defy common sense".
