Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 25 January 2021 of Question 143017, how much the Government has paid Clearsprings Ready Homes to manage temporary asylum seeker accommodation during the covid-19 outbreak.

Accommodation costs are considered to be commercially confidential, therefore the Home Office does not publish this information. However, total expenditure on asylum is published in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/ho-annual-reports-and-accounts.
