00:00Well, I think it's really good that my colleague Seema Malhotra, the immigration minister, has acted very quickly on this and instructed Mighty to remove those adverts.
00:11They have a contractual obligation to ensure that people who are in the detention centre in Heathrow are not suffering in terms of health effects, which could potentially just create more problems for our system if people are becoming ill and unhealthy in those places.
00:34We need to ensure that doesn't happen for obvious reasons. But of course, these adverts were going far too far, completely excessive and unnecessary.
00:43And that's why it's really good that common sense has prevailed and that they've been removed.
00:49And I think it was, as far as I can see, it was an over interpretation by Mighty of their contract.
