Asylum: Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she has taken to reduce the number of asylum seekers living in houses of multiple occupancy.

Answer

We’re taking decisive action to reduce the asylum backlog, close hotels, and return control of sites to local areas. Our strategy is focused on restoring order and fairness to the system while protecting public safety. The Immigration White Paper sets our measures to reduce inflow to the asylum system, ultimately reducing reliance on accommodation.
