PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(20 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there is an official process to inform local residents when a hotel is used to house irregular migrants.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain)

Answer

For the safety, security and wellbeing of those indiviuals staying in Home Office accommodation and the staff who work there, we do not disclose information about specific hotels which may or may not be utilised by the Home Office to the general public.

However, to ensure that views of key external stakeholders are sought and partners are engaged, the Home Office works with Regional Strategic Migration Partnerships to engage directly with local authorities and other statutory partners when there are plans to open a hotel in their local area.
