Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the Wethersfield site being used as asylum accommodation on local services.

The site at Wethersfield is designed to be as self-sufficient as possible, in order to minimise the impact on local communities and services. This includes 24/7 security, on-site catering, basic healthcare and transport provision for those housed on site. The safety and security of the local communities, those resident on the sites and the sites themselves are of the utmost importance. The final funding arrangements will be communicated shortly.
