Undocumented Migrants: Temporary Accommodation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost was of providing accommodation in hotels and other contingency accommodation to illegal migrants in 2025.
Answered by Alex Norris
We do not report and hold data at this granularity, including by method of arrival, and would only be obtainable at disproportionate cost.
The Asylum Accommodation and Support Contract (AASC) Requirements below gives a detailed breakdown of all the services to be undertaken by our accommodation providers and to the standards we expect. Full details of this can be found here: http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2018-1112/AASC_-_Schedule_2_-_Statement_of_Requirements.pdf.
The Home Office publishes information on asylum expenditure in the: Home Office annual report and accounts: 2024 to 2025 - GOV.UK.
