Richard Fuller MP said:

I highlighted that questions need to be answered as to how 8 men were seemingly able to abscond with such comparative ease, and also the interaction between Serco and the police.

I also commended Bedfordshire Police under Chief Constable Trevor Rodenhurst, for working closely with other forces to ensure that all but 1 of the detainees have now been rearrested as well as a number of individuals who facilitated them.
