Dear Immigration Department,

I) End of month population at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre broken down by sections under the Immigration Ordinance detainees are held under (ie. Purpose of detention and detention authority) 

II) End of month population at Ma Tau Kok Detention Centre broken down by sections under the Immigration Ordinance detainees are held under (ie. Purpose of detention and detention authority)
