The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish her Department's Community Impact Assessment in relation to the use of Crowborough Training Camp as Asylum Accommodation.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office undertakes the necessary assessments, including consideration of impacts on the local community, when bringing any site into use for asylum accommodation. Public safety and the needs of both residents and the local community were key considerations when developing plans for Crowborough Training Camp. We will consider which assessments may be appropriate to publish in line with normal processes.
