Ministerial correction made by Alex Norris (Labour) on Tuesday, 2 December 2025, in the House of Commons on behalf of the Home Office.


Asylum: Housing

Dispersed Accommodation procured by private providers on behalf of the Home Office is standard practice. Our providers comply with any local authority licensing requirements as standard practice.

The Home Office holds seven Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts across the UK. The Home Office has contracted Serco Ltd as the AASC Provider for the North West region, including Greater Manchester. Responsibility for the provision of all dispersal accommodation in Greater Manchester therefore lies Serco Ltd. This includes the management of all subcontractors.

The Home Office does not hold contracts with other suppliers for the direct provision of dispersal accommodation and support services in Greater Manchester.

Further information on the Home Office’s contract with Serco Ltd is available here: AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract NW - Contracts Finder.
