Asylum: Crowborough Training Camp

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 25 February 2026UIN 113957

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers accommodated at Crowborough Training Camp her Department has lost contact with since 22 January 2026.

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.
