Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government which hotels have accommodated asylum seekers during the COVID-19 pandemic; and how many asylum seekers are in each such hotel.
This question was answered on 18th June 2020
Hotel usage is permitted under the Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts as contingency accommodation.
As a result of the Covid-19 crisis a higher proportion of asylum seekers than usual are being accommodated in full-board hostels and hotels.? The Home Office does not publish the total amount of service users accommodated in hotels, or the whereabouts of the vulnerable people we support.
