The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to end the use of hotels for asylum seekers.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

This government will end the costly chaos in the asylum system by cleaning the previous government’s backlog of claims, in order to end hotel use and save the taxpayer billions. We aim to return to the use of long-standing dispersed accommodation as soon as possible.
