Answered by Robert Jenrick
For the safety, security and wellbeing of those we house we do not publicly disclose the names of individual hotels which may or may not be utilised. There are currently 2 Asylum support hotels in use in Hammersmith constituency, these hotels are being used to house people seeking asylum. As of 14 November, there were 90 occupants in these hotels.
The average length of stay in our contingency hotels is 6 to 12 months due to the current accommodation and capacity challenges.
With regards to refugees, there is 1 hotel in the Hammersmith constituency and there are currently 146 occupants in the hotel.
