MOD Bicester: Asylum

Asked by Calum MillerLiberal DemocratMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 9 July 2026UIN 16357

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether contracts have been awarded to companies to undertake assessments of Site A at MoD Bicester in preparation for using it as an asylum centre.

Answered by Luke Pollard

This is a matter for the Home Office, not the Ministry of Defence, as they have responsibility for setting up and running asylum accommodation on MOD sites.
