Asylum: Housing

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainHome OfficeTabled Answered 3 February 2026UIN 108411

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many complaints have been received relating to accommodation standards under the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract series since 1 March 2019; and what proportion were upheld by supplier and year.

Answered by Alex Norris

Complaints relating specifically to accommodation standards are recorded and reviewed as part of the department’s wider contract management regime. However, detailed information on the number of such complaints received since 1 March 2019, and the proportion upheld by supplier and by year, forms part of contractual performance data that is considered commercially sensitive. As such, this data is not published.
