Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the answer of 21 April 2026, to Question 124784, on Housing: Asylum, whether funding for the pilots has now been (a) allocated or (b) provided to specific local authorities.

We have committed to closing every asylum hotel, and work is well underway, with more suitable sites, including military bases, being brought forward to ease pressure on communities. The Home Office are working with MHCLG to explore a model of asylum accommodation that achieves value for money and supports asylum system reform. Further detail will be provided in due course. However, further information on responses or guidance given to interested local authorities on the new accommodation model is considered commercially sensitive.
