Asylum: Housing

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many rented properties are procured in each Greater Manchester local authority area by providers contracted by her Department for asylum accommodation.

Answered by Alex Norris

For the safety and security of those we accommodate and staff, it is our longstanding policy not to disclose information about sites which may or may not be utilised by the Home Office.

The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of supported asylum seekers accommodated in each local authority area. These statistics can be found at Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.
