Multiple Occupation: Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many houses in multiple occupation are currently being funded by the Home Office to house migrants, broken down by local authority area.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Home Office does not publish detailed information on the location of asylum accommodation sites for safety and security reasons. Data, published quarterly, on the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation can be found within the Asy_D11 tab of our most recent statistics release. The data can broken down by local authority rather than by constituency.

The Home Office, and its accommodation providers, take into account a range of issues when considering the suitability for dispersed accommodation. Local authorities are consulted on bedspaces before they are procured.
