Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that it stays connected with people seeking asylum subsequent to those people being provided accommodation.

We expect asylum seekers to stay in contact with the Home Office and comply with the asylum process, including providing up-to-date contact details and following any reporting conditions when required.

Asylum support is provided on the basis that a supported person (and any dependants they have) adhere to the terms and conditions attached to it. Conditions include residing at their allocated accommodation and limits on absences from their asylum accommodation. Our accommodation providers support individuals residing in our accommodation and monitor absences.
