Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times police were called to deal with incidents in (a) hotels, (b) processing centres and (c) other accommodation used for asylum seekers since 1 January 2022.

Security and support staff are on site 24 hours a day and providers liaise closely with local police to ensure the safety of vulnerable residents and to mitigate any risks to them and the wider community.

We regularly engage with accommodation providers and, where necessary, work with providers to put additional measures in place. This will include working with other Statutory bodies including Police to investigate any potential criminal activities
