Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
I can categorically assure the noble Lord that no asylum seeker will be left to face destitution.
The Lord Bishop of Southwark [V]
My Lords, in the light of the recent ruling by the High Court of Justice in London against the Secretary of State, what steps have Her Majesty’s Government taken to review the way in which the Home Office houses asylum seekers with disabilities in order to comply with the judgment of the High Court? The delays in providing accommodation in the cases before the court range from 45 days to nine months.
Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
My Lords, I know that my right honourable friend the Home Secretary will take note of, and reflect on, the judgment before making a decision, and I am sure that I will update the House in due course.
