Children detained at Heathrow held in "degrading" conditions
Children detained by the UK Border Agency at Heathrow Airport are being held in "degrading" conditions.
A report by the Independent Monitoring Board also found rooms used to hold children were "disgraceful."
It recommends that non-custodial, child-friendly accommodation be provided for families. The Border Agency says Heathrow's operators BAA are responsible for the standard of custody suites.
