Analysis of 20 detained people who could be on flight next week reveals 13 arrived in Britain as a child

Most of the Jamaicans facing deportation from the UK on a controversial Home Office charter flight next week arrived in the country as children, according to analysis passed to the Guardian.

It is not known how many Jamaican nationals are due to be on the 18 May flight but numbers on the last four Jamaica deportation flights have been decreasing steadily - from 17 to 13, to seven and then four.
