Asylum: Housing

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her oral contribution of 1 September 2025 on Borders and Asylum, Volume 772, column 51, what are the locations of the three accommodation pilots.

Answered by Alex Norris

We are actively working with local authorities to develop several potential accommodation models that could ‘pilot’ a more sustainable, flexible and collaborative outcome. These ‘pilot’ models will examine potential alternative accommodation sources – in collaboration with local authorities – promoting community cohesion and joint initiatives. Decisions on specific locations will be made on a case-by-case basis, and we will continue to work closely with local authorities and in compliance with published policy.
