Asylum: Temporary Accommodation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether per capita share of asylum accommodation across regions is a criteria in deciding asylum hotel closure priority.
Answered by Alex Norris
Hotel closure will be prioritised based on a wide range of criteria. The hotel exit plan will continue to be carefully managed to ensure that all supported asylum seekers are accommodated in suitable alternative accommodation. The department operates a Full Dispersal model which works to ensure that asylum accommodation is equitably and fairly spread out across the country, meaning that a small number of local authorities are not unduly burdened.
