Asylum: Housing

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 1 December 2025UIN 93484

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of replacing the Asylum Support Payments contract as part of the Asylum Support Accommodation Programme.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Asylum Support Payment (ASP) contract was originally included in the Asylum Support Accommodation Programme (ASAP). However, the ASP contract did not terminate at the same time as ASAP, so a decision was taken to descope it. This does not mean this will not be considered in the future.
