To ask His Majesty's Government how many asylum seekers are currently placed in (1) hotels, (2) houses of multiple occupation, and (3) other locations and facilities in (a) England, (b) Wales, (c) Scotland and (d) Northern Ireland.
The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of supported asylum seekers accommodated in contingency and dispersed accommodation, including houses of multiple occupation, across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. To the year ending 30 June 2025, these figures are as follows:
Country | Hotels | Dispersed Accommodation | Other |
England | 30,164 | 57,000 | 4,120 |
Scotland | 1,573 | 3,978 | 332 |
Wales | 76 | 3,028 | 76 |
Northern Ireland | 246 | 2,228 | 45 |
This Government is delivering on its pledge to close asylum hotels; drastically reducing taxpayer costs and giving control back to local communities. This Government is committed to ending the use of hotels to house asylum seekers by the end of the Parliament.
