To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much grant funding has been awarded to each local authority for the housing of asylum seekers, broken down by local authority, in each of the last five financial years.

The Cabinet Office publish annual grant funding data (Government Grants Data and Statistics) where you can find details of grant levels by local authority area broken down per year once available. The Home Office does not publish any additional information.
