The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish any detailed assessments carried out (a) by and (b) on behalf of her Department on the use of Crowborough Training Camp to house asylum seekers; and whether Wealden District Council has (i) requested and (ii) been supplied those assessments.

Answered by Alex Norris

It remains our intention to use Crowborough Training Camp to accommodate asylum seekers, subject to the outcome of feasibility assessments. The Home Office has been engaging with statutory partners, including Health, Police and Fire Rescue on this proposal and all sites progressed for asylum accommodation, including Crowborough, will comply with safety, security, health and wellbeing standards.
