Asylum: Crowborough Training Camp and Hotels

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the average cost of accommodating an asylum seeker at (a) Crowborough Training Camp and (b) other hotels.

Answer

Military sites are being considered for asylum accommodation, with the aim of reducing the impact on communities and delivering better outcomes for taxpayers.

We are confident that the level of due diligence carried out on sites has improved, and that value for money assessments take place at the appropriate stage.

Costs will be included in the Departments Annual Report and Accounts in the normal way.
