Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will provide additional funding to (a) local authorities, (b) support services and (c) NHS and healthcare providers for the operation of hotel asylum accommodation in South Cambridgeshire.

Our accommodation providers are experienced and have a strong record of running these types of sites with minimal impact on local communities. All providers have the required policies and procedures in place around security, safeguarding, critical incident management, and health and safety. Security officials and support staff are also on site 24 hours a day and are obliged to immediately report any security incidents to the Home Office. If required, we work with the provider to put additional measures in place.
