Asylum: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to amend (a) planning policy and (b) permitted development rights in relation to asylum accommodation.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
This government is committed to ending the use of asylum hotels by the end of this Parliament, but we are clear this must be done in a controlled and orderly manner.
We continue to keep our approach, including in respect of planning and permitted development rights, under review.
