Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which areas have been allocated responsibility for finding accommodation for asylum seekers dispersed from Napier Barracks.

The procurement of housing for supported asylum seekers who are destitute is carried out by private providers, through the private housing market, under the Asylum and Accommodation and Support Contracts.

Asylum seekers from Napier or any other contingency accommodation site are therefore not allocated to Local Authorities to source housing.
