Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to asylum accommodation provided at the Penally training camp in Pembrokeshire, how many people there are per room; and how many and what types of bed there are in each room.

There are several different types of accommodation blocks at Penally.

The beds in the accommodation blocks consist of either a single bed or a sole use pod within a block. A pod comprises of 2 bunks (4 beds) separated by a lockable cabinet. Only 1 of the 4 beds in a pod is in use at any time.

The number of people varies according to block size and type however the numbers in each room is calculated to ensure that it is possible to adhere to COVID rules.
