The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 8 January 2026, to Question 103292, on Asylum: Housing, if he will publish the list of local authorities that his Department has engaged with to date on the new model.

Answered by Alison McGovern

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is committed to working in close partnership with local authorities to develop and deliver a new, more sustainable model for asylum accommodation.

While we do not plan to publish a list of the individual local authorities we have engaged with, our approach has been designed to ensure we hear from a broad and representative range of local authorities during the development of the new model.
