Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much has been spent by her Department in the last four quarters on paying for asylum seekers to travel from asylum accommodation in Oxford East to the nearest reporting centre in Hounslow.

Individuals who have claimed asylum may apply for assistance with travel expenses to attend a reporting event where they are in receipt of asylum support and reside more than three miles from their reporting location. Applications from individuals residing within three miles may be considered where there is an exceptional need.

The Home Office does not hold readily available centrally collated data on expenditure specifically relating to travel from asylum accommodation in Oxford East to the reporting centre in Hounslow.
