Asylum: Hotels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of people waiting for their asylum application to be processed are living in hotels in (a) England and (b) Telford constituency for each year that data is available.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on asylum seekers on support by local authority, including accommodation in hotels, is published in table Asy_D11 of the ‘Asylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasets’. This data is not broken down by constituency.
Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbooks.
