Undocumented Migrants: Temporary Accommodation

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 23 April 2026UIN 127895

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to issue guidance to the public on the location of illegal migrants who have been moved out of hotel accommodation.

Answered by Alex Norris

All asylum seekers residing in a closing hotel will be provided with alternative suitable accommodation. Moves are coordinated by Home Office accommodation providers, and options may include dispersed accommodation, alternative contingency sites, or larger accommodation sites. Individuals may be relocated anywhere within the wider contract region and not necessarily within the same local authority area.

For the safety, security and wellbeing of those being accommodated and staff, the Home Office does not disclose information about accommodation sites which may or may not be utilised to the general public.
