Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department has produced for sub-contracted accommodation providers to (a) prevent and (b) better respond to the sexual violence and abuse faced by asylum-seeking women in hotel accommodation.

The Home Office keeps all aspects of the immigration and asylum system under regular review, and works closely with our accommodation providers, the police and a range of other experts and stakeholders to provide the best possible safeguards for female asylum seekers against violence and abuse.
