Asylum: Hotels

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what was the maximum daily spend on hotel accommodation for asylum-seekers between July (a) 2021 and (b) 2024; and in which (i) month and (ii) year that maximum spend was reached.

Answer

The Home Office does not publish data on daily numbers or cost of hotels in use as costs are subject to change depending on numbers being accommodated within the asylum system. However, the total expenditure on asylum is published in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts, available at Home Office annual reports and accounts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
