Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on reducing the use of hotels as contingency asylum accommodation.

The Government is determined to restore order to the asylum system so that it operates swiftly, firmly and fairly. This includes our accommodation sites, as the Home Office continues to identify a range of options to minimise the use of hotels and ensure better use of public money, whilst maintaining sufficient accommodation to meet demand.
