Asylum

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the reasons are for the time taken to publish Compass programme contract notices relating to the commissioning of services for asylum seekers.
Answer

The original timetable for the COMPASS programme was to publish the invitation to tender for new asylum accommodation services in the summer of 2010.Given the recent change of Government and the size of the contracts involved it has been agreed to delay the issue of the formal tender document until new ministers have had the opportunity to review the current plans and the strategy, to ensure best value.
