Undocumented Migrants: Hotels

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainHome OfficeTabled Answered 2 December 2024UIN 15393

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost of providing security services to hotels used for housing irregular migrants was in each year since 2018.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Security for asylum accommodation is part of the service requirements that are provided by the Home Office accommodation providers under the Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts (AASC). The HO does not publish a breakdown of costs by individual elements of the AASC service - and could only do so at disproportionate cost
