The Home Office has asked to see BBC undercover evidence of alleged racism and violence by security staff at an asylum seeker detention centre.
The evidence was gathered against Global Solutions Ltd staff at Oakington Immigration Reception Centre, near Cambridge, by BBC One's Real Story.
Fifteen employees have been suspended from frontline duties, says GSL.
The Lib Dems urged a review into how such firms were vetted and monitored and the Tories called for an inquiry.
The BBC heard evidence of detainees being physically and racially abused while officers made sure violence was not captured on CCTV.
