PRIVATE security giant G4S will stop running its last two immigration detention centres in Britain next year, but it will continue to provide healthcare to detainees at other sites.

The company will withdraw from its Brook House and Tinsley House facilities at Gatwick after abandoning a bid to renew its Home Office management contracts.

It means that another private company such as Serco could take over running the centres from May 2020, unless Labour takes power and implements its pledge to shut down Brook House altogether.
