Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 11 March 2026, to Question 117731, on Housing: Asylum, what are the pilots for LA-led asylum accommodation referenced in the Home Office guidance, entitled Funding Instruction for Local Authorities: Asylum Grant 2025 - 2026, updated 23 April 2025; and how this relates to the proposed MHCLG fund.

We have committed to closing every asylum hotel, and work is well underway, with more suitable sites, including military bases, being brought forward to ease pressure on communities. The Home Office are working with MHCLG to explore a model of asylum accommodation that achieves value for money and supports asylum system reform and further detail will be provided in due course.
