Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many refugees are housed in (1) hotels, and (2) houses of multiple occupancy.

The Home Office has already reduced usage of asylum hotels substantially from the peak of 400 in use in Autumn 2023, and it committed to end their use entirely by the end of this Parliament.

Data is published quarterly, on the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation, including hotels. According to the latest official data, published on 22 May 2025, there were 32,345 individuals accommodated in hotels as of 31 March 2025.

The information requested for houses of multiple occupancy is not currently available from published statistics, and the relevant data can only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
