Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to enable subsistence only payments that are not connected to the provision of accommodation for Section 4 asylum seekers.

There are no plans to provide failed asylum seekers supported under section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 with support in the form of subsistence payments only. If failed asylum seekers wish to receive the support they are required to move to accommodation provided by the Home Office.
