Asylum: Hotels

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum hotels have been closed since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Alex Norris

This Government recognises that hotels are not a sustainable solution for accommodating asylum seekers and remains committed to ending their use, already reducing the number in operation. We do not provide a running commentary on hotel numbers, our objective is to close all asylum hotels by the end of this Parliament, reducing costs to the taxpayer and restoring control to local communities.
