Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Government Liaison Officers are still assigned to bridging hotels for Afghan refugees; and if she will provide to the hon. Member for Lewisham, Deptford the contact details for the officer based at the Holiday Inn, Stoke.

We can confirm that Hotel Liaison Officers (HOLOs) continue to provide ongoing support and advice to those residing in all of our Bridging Hotel Accommodation.

The role of the HOLO is to provide both face to face support and remote support when not physically present, they are reactive to the needs of those accommodated in hotels.

We have provided the details of the Hotel Liaison Officer for Stoke directly to the Member for Lewisham, Deptford.
