Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many complaints, contract failures, service credits and financial penalties have been recorded against asylum accommodation providers in Northern Ireland since 2019.
Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)
The full set of contractual KPIs for each AASC region has been published online and can be accessed via Contracts Finder at the following links:
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract NW - Contracts Finder
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract MEE - Contracts Finder
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract NEYH - Contracts Finder
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract Scotland - Contracts Finder
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract NI - Contracts Finder
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract Wales - Contracts Finder
AASC - Asylum Accommodation & Support Services Contract South - Contracts Finder
Performance results for the AASC contracts are commercially sensitive. Releasing detailed, supplier level performance data could undermine the Department’s ability to manage and assure the delivery of these live contracts effectively. For this reason, the Home Office does not publish individual supplier performance results.

We do not report on data at this granularity and would only be obtainable at disproportionate cost.
The Home Office publishes information on asylum expenditure in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts at Home Office annual reports and accounts - GOV.UK.
