Asylum: Crowborough Training Camp
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Crowborough Training Camp has been assessed as being safe, legal and compliant for use as asylum accommodation.
- Answer
-
In accordance with the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, the Home Office has a statutory obligation to provide destitute asylum seekers with accommodation and subsistence support whilst their application for asylum is being considered.
We are committed to ensuring that destitute asylum seekers are housed in safe, secure and suitable accommodation, and that they are treated with dignity while their asylum claim is considered.
The site has been assessed as safe, legal and compliant for use as asylum accommodation, and all accommodation must meet contractual standards and be safe, fit for purpose and properly equipped.
