Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers are being housed in Houses in Multiple Occupation in Northern Ireland.

Data, published quarterly, on the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation, including accommodation type, can be found within the Asy_D11 tab of our most recent statistics release. The data can also be broken down by local authority. Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.

In terms of the accommodation of asylum seekers in Northern Ireland, it remains the case that only those claiming asylum in Northern Ireland are accommodated there.
