Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 9 March 2026, to Question 111142, on Housing: Asylum, whether there has been any HM Government expression of interests requested from local authorities in relation to asylum accommodation, including pilots referenced in the Funding Instruction for Local Authorities: Asylum Grant 2025 - 2026.

We ran an expression of interest exercise on new accommodation models with local authorities in 2025. However, further information on responses or guidance given to interested local authorities on the new accommodation model is considered commercially sensitive.
