Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding her Department has provided to Northern Ireland in each financial year since 2019-20 for asylum accommodation, broken down by scheme, recipient body and local council area.

The Home Office provides funding to Local Authorities through several grant agreements, including those for Asylum, Unaccompanied Asylum-seeking Children, and former Unaccompanied Asylum-seeking Children Care Leavers. However, we do not publicly publish grant payment levels by individual local authority. For Northern Ireland, these funds are paid directly to the Northern Ireland Executive Office, which is then responsible for distributing them to each area as they see fit.
