Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the proposed use of the Penally training camp in Pembrokeshire as a temporary accommodation site for asylum seekers prior to 12 September 2020; and what subsequent discussions he has had with the Home Secretary.
Answered by Simon Hart - Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury (Chief Whip)
I had no discussions with the Secretary of State for the Home Department regarding the use of Penally training camp as accommodation for asylum seekers prior to 12 September.
I first spoke to the Secretary of State for the Home Department about this matter on 13 September and have had numerous discussions with Home Department Ministers and officials since.
