Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many properties have been provided to asylum seekers receiving Section 95 support in (a) Ellesmere Port, (b) the North West and (c) England; and what proportion of these were provided in the last six months.
The number of asylum seekers accommodated in each local authority, although not broken down into hotels or other accommodation, can be found in the attached link https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#asylum-support. For the safety, security and wellbeing of those we house within the hotels, we do not disclose the individual locations.
