Asylum: Temporary Accommodation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to make a decision on the future of the 56-day asylum move on pilot.
Answered by Alex Norris
A decision has now been taken to set the notice period for all individuals granted leave exiting the asylum accommodation estate at 42 days, from the point they are notified of a positive asylum decision. Individuals will continue to receive a minimum of 28 days to move on from when they are notified that their asylum support is being discontinued in their asylum support discontinuation letter.
This policy will apply to individuals granted leave on or after 9 March 2026. The policy will not apply to individuals who are already within the notice period and those for whom support has already been discontinued.
The 56‑day pilot concluded on 8 March 2026.
