The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress her Department has made on implementing the Asylum Support Accommodation Programme.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Asylum Support Accommodation Programme is currently developing its Outline Business Case (OBC) for internal approval, anticipated towards the end of 2025. This OBC will shape the next phase of the programme by setting out the procurement strategy for the Home Office to deliver new and transformed commercial arrangements ahead of the expiry of the current AASC in 2029.
