Asylum: Hotels

Asked by Shaun DaviesLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 21 April 2026UIN 126763

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many hotels were used for asylum accommodation in Telford and Wrekin Local Authority area on 12 April in each of the last 6 years.

Answered by Alex Norris

It is longstanding policy that the Home Office does not publicly comment on individual hotels which may or may not be utilised by the department.

The Home Office does, however, publish statistics on a quarterly basis detailing the number of supported asylum seekers accommodated in each local authority area. These statistics can be found in at Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.
