Asylum: Hotels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when it plans to end the use of the Victoria Hotel in Oldham for the placement of asylum seekers.
Answered by Alex Norris
It has been the longstanding policy of the Home Office under successive governments not to disclose information about specific hotels which may or may not be used for asylum accommodation.
However, the Home Office continues to work with a range of stakeholders to fulfil our statutory obligations and deliver our commitment to reduce the overall cost of asylum accommodation, including ending the use of hotels, by the end of this Parliament.
