PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(27 February 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to Q52 of the oral evidence given by the Permanent Secretary to the Home Affairs Select Committee on 4 February 2025 HC 505, how many (a) rooms and (b) rooms were the ten hotels in question able to accommodate; and what the saving to the public purse will be as a result of their closure.

Asked by:
Mr Paul Kohler (Liberal Democrat)

The Home Office publishes numbers on people in hotels. It does not publish or report on number of rooms.

Data on the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation, including hotels, and by local authority can be found on GOV.UK as part of the quarterly Immigration system statistics release. The Home Office also publishes information on asylum expenditure in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts.
