Written Question
Asylum: RAF Scampton
Thursday 14th March 2024

Asked by: Edward Leigh (Conservative - Gainsborough)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost to the public purse was of proposals to house asylum seekers at the former RAF base at Scampton.

Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)

Cost information is prospective and commercially sensitive, and as such is not available to be released. The pressure on the asylum system from small boat arrivals has continued to grow and requires us to look at a range of accommodation options which are more appropriate and offer better value for the taxpayer than expensive hotels.
