Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer of 20 April 2016 to Question 32851, on Asylum housing, how many and what proportion of properties were deemed compliant with contractual obligations following an inspection by (a) her Department and (b) providers in each (i) COMPASS region and (ii) contractual pay period in (A) 2014-15 and (B) 2015-16; and how many people were affected by faults identified from COMPASS inspections not being repaired within the contract timescales in each of those regions in each of those periods.

The performance standards defined in the COMPASS contract are managed using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which include measure of whether an individual property is compliant with contractual obligations following an inspection and also the number of service users affected if a fault is not repaired within the contract timescales.

The Home Office contract management reporting regime does not retain information in a format that readily allows for data extraction on the number of individual property inspection or faults in the format requested without incurring disproportionate cost.
