Asylum: Havering
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has commissioned the use of hotel accommodation in the London Borough of Havering for the purpose of housing asylum seekers since 29 July 2024.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
No new hotels have been commissioned to accommodate asylum seekers in the London Borough of Havering in this period. The Home Office keeps its accommodation estate under constant review.
The Government is determined to restore order to the asylum system so that it operates swiftly, firmly, and fairly. This includes our accommodation sites, as we continue to identify a range of options to end the use of hotels to accommodate destitute asylum seekers.
