Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help enforce no alcohol policies at asylum accommodation sites.

Asylum support is for essential living needs and nothing more.

There is a strict no alcohol policy within accommodation sites where residents are required to comply with site rules.

Upon arrival asylum seekers are given an induction setting out acceptable and unacceptable behaviours, as well as their responsibilities as individuals.
