Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Afghan people who were previously housed in hotel accommodation in the UK prior to 31 August 2023 have presented themselves as homeless to local authorities as of 1 September 2023.

The UK made an ambitious and generous commitment to help resettle Afghans fleeing persecution and those who served the UK. Since June 2021, we have brought 24,500 people to safety to the UK.

We will provide an update on the hotel departures, including latest figures this week.
