Asylum: St Helens

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers have been hosted in hotels in St Helens in each year since 2015; and how much that cost in each of those years.

Answer

The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of asylum seekers accommodated in each local authority area. These statistics can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#asylum-support. Data are published on a quarterly basis, with the latest information published on 25 August 2022.

The next quarterly figures are due to be released in November 2022. The Home Office does not publish a breakdown of these statistics which disaggregates the number of asylum seekers accommodated in a specific type of accommodation. These figures are not available in a reportable format and to provide the information could only be done at disproportionate cost.
