Asylum: Crowborough Training Camp

Asked by Dr Kieran MullanConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 26 February 2026UIN 113286

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers have left the site and not returned whilst accommodated at the Crowborough Training Camp.

Answered by Alex Norris

Asylum seekers at the site are not detained, however the site is self-contained as essential services are provided on site to reduce the impact on local services through reducing the need for asylum seekers to leave the site.

The Home Office does not give a live commentary on the number of asylum seekers accommodated at accommodation sites.
