Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the potential impact of the proposed use of Cameron Barracks to accommodate asylum seekers on army families.

The Home Office and the Ministry of Defence are working closely together to identify appropriate military and non-military sites which can be utilised to meet the Government’s aim of closing all asylum hotels.

This includes ensuring that service personnel and their families near to sites considered for this purpose are properly consulted and supported.
