Asylum: Military Bases

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 25 February 2026UIN 113961

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to develop further MOD sites to house Asylum Seekers.

Answered by Alex Norris

Yes - as part of our commitment to close all asylum hotels, we are looking at a range of more appropriate sites including ex-military sites, so we can reduce the impact on communities. Decisions on the use of alternative asylum accommodation sites are made on a site-by-site basis.
