Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is her Department's policy that asylum seekers accommodated on asylum vessels will be able to move freely or have restrictions on their movements.

As with all asylum accommodation, asylum seekers accommodated on vessels will be non-detained.
