Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average waiting time is for dispersal accommodation for asylum seekers in Northern Ireland after entering the asylum system.
The Home Office does not publish a breakdown of statistics which disaggregates the number of asylum seekers accommodated in specific types of accommodation, the duration of their receipt of support or the number at specific stages of the asylum process. These figures are not available in a reportable format and to provide the information could only be done at disproportionate cost.
