Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether contracts associated with the operation of MoD Barnham include provision for escorting, chaperoning, or supervising asylum seekers whilst off-site; and what the total value of those contractual arrangements is.

The Government is considering the use of MoD Barnham for asylum accommodation. No final decision has been made and no contractual agreements have been awarded to manage the site.
