Asylum: Temporary Accommodation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is her Department's policy that asylum applicants granted of refugee status whilst in contingency asylum accommodation have a local connection to the local authority area where that contingency accommodation is situated.

Answer

All asylum claims are considered on a case by case basis and in line with published policy so that individuals who need protection and are granted asylum can start to integrate and rebuild their lives.

We are committed to speeding up the decision making process, so that we can remove those with no right to be here and focus our finite resources on those in geniune need.
