Migrants: Housing

Asked by Dr Caroline JohnsonConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 16 September 2024UIN 4535

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what form of accommodation has been provided to migrants who were staying on the Bibby Stockholm.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

The Home Office continues to identify a range of options to minimise the use of expensive hotels and ensure better use of public money, tackling backlogs to reduce accommodation demands across the system as a whole.

The AASC Statement of Requirements below gives a detailed breakdown of all of the services to be undertaken by our accommodation providers and the standards we expect: http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2018-1112/AASC_-_Schedule_2_-_Statement_of_Requirements.pdf (opens in a new tab).
