Asylum: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of consulting with Members before allocating asylum accommodation in their constituencies.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Home Office routinely engages local officials and elected members as part of the procurement process for specific types of accommodation, to enable us to gather local intelligence which informs our decision making. This engagement and disclosure is undertaken on a case by case basis as is necessary.
