Asylum: Hotels

Asked by Esther McVeyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 22 November 2024UIN 14085

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the nationalities are of immigrants accommodated in the Cresta Court Hotel in Altrincham.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

For the safety, security and wellbeing of staff and those being accommodated, the Home Office does not comment publicly on individual accommodation sites.

When a person claims asylum, the Home Office conducts mandatory identity and security checks. Biographic and biometric data are checked against relevant Home Office systems and police criminality databases including domestic and international data.

Data on the number of asylum seekers in receipt of support by nationality, support type, accommodation type, and UK region can be found within the Asy_D09 tab for our most recent stats release: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)(opens in a new tab) (opens in a new tab).
