Undocumented Migrants: Hotels

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost was of services provided (a) within and (b) alongside hotel accommodation in 2025 by provider and contract.

Answer

We do not report and hold data at this granularity, including by method of arrival, and would only be obtainable at disproportionate cost.

The Asylum Accommodation and Support Contract (AASC) Requirements below gives a detailed breakdown of all the services to be undertaken by our accommodation providers and to the standards we expect. Full details of this can be found here: http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2018-1112/AASC_-_Schedule_2_-_Statement_of_Requirements.pdf.

The Home Office publishes information on asylum expenditure in the: Home Office annual report and accounts: 2024 to 2025 - GOV.UK.
