Asylum: Temporary Accommodation

Asked by Lee AndersonReform UKHome OfficeTabled Answered 8 December 2025UIN 95301

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individual properties are being used as dispersal accommodation for asylum seekers.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office publishes data on the number of asylum seekers at a regional and local level. The department does not publish data at a property level, but at a person level.

The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of supported asylum seekers. These statistics can be found at: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.
