Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Government will place the (a) asylum accommodation and support services contract, (b) advice, issue, reporting and eligibility contract and (c) associated (i) statements of requirements, (ii) performance management regimes, (iii) key performance indicators, (iv) equality impact assessments and (v) other relevant information on those contracts in the Library.
