Asylum: Hotels

Asked by Sarah HallLabour (Co-op)Home OfficeTabled Answered 5 November 2024UIN 11450

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her planned timetable is for processing asylum seekers currently resident in hotels.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

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 the Home Office clears the backlog, increases removals and continues to identify a range of options to minimise the use of hotels and ensure better use of public money.

All asylum claims will continue to be assessed on an individual basis, in line with published policies.
