Asylum: Housing

Asked by Sir James CleverlyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 February 2026UIN 108225

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's policy is on publishing details of grants on asylum housing costs to individual local authorities.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office does not publicly publish grant payment levels by local authority, and we have no plans to do so. We do however publish the grant funding instructions, which can be found here:
