Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will estimate the cost to the public purse of extending the minimum notice period to vacate for refugee acommodation contracts to four weeks.

The notice period to vacate an asylum accommodation property is currently 28 days for those granted a form of leave and 21 days for those who have had their claims refused.

There are no plans to increase the notice period to vacate asylum accommo-dation.
