Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the number of residents at Napier Barracks and Penally training camp has reduced since 12 March; how many residents have tested positive for COVID-19; and when they expect to provide adequate accommodation for all residents.

The number of residents at Napier has reduced since 12 March 2021.

Due to the closure of Penally Training Camp, the accommodation providers Clearsprings Ready Homes (CRH) have moved all remaining asylum seekers as of the 21 March.

197 people accommodated at Napier tested positive for coronavirus earlier this year. There have been no recorded cases at Penally.

All asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute are provided with safe, suitable, fit for purpose and correctly equipped accommodation.
