A Home Office employee has been suspended following claims of abuse and assaults against detainees at a G4S-run immigration centre.

Private security firm G4S said on Friday that nine members of its staff had been suspended pending an investigation into BBC Panorama allegations of "chaos, incompetence and abuse" at the Brook House Immigration Removal Centre, near Gatwick Airport, in West Sussex.
