The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department made of potential changes in the cost of local authority temporary accommodation from asylum seekers moving across to refugee status.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office has not made such an assessment as costs to local authorities would not be in our remit.
