The Home Office closely monitors the movement of all asylum seekers by accommodation providers, however historic statistics on the number of people who have been relocated from dispersed accommodation more than four times in a year could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

All relocation requests are monitored by UKVI and no individual will be moved on more than two occasions within a twelve month period unless there are exceptional circumstance.
