Asylum: Napier Barracks

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether it remains their intention to vacate the Napier Barracks site on or before 25 March.

Answer

Following a review and downgrading of the remedial works required at Napier Barracks before the site is handed to developers, a limited time extension has been agreed with the Ministry of Defence to use the site for asylum accommodation until 30 September 2025.

The Home Office continuously reviews the accommodation estate to ensure there is sufficient capacity to meet demand whilst delivering value for money for the UK taxpayer.
