Asylum: Hotels and Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost to the public purse was of (a) asylum hotel and (b) community accommodation in each year between 2010 and 2024.
Answered by Alex Norris
Costs are subject to change depending on numbers being accommodated within the asylum system. Accommodation costs are considered to be commercially confidential therefore, the Home Office does not publish this information. However, total expenditure on asylum is published in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts, available at HO annual reports and accounts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
