Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which sub-contractors are providing (a) security and (b) welfare services to people accommodated on the Bibby Stockholm.

Corporate Travel Management (CTM) is responsible for managing the services on the barge. CTM, who managed two Scottish vessels used to accommodate Ukrainian refugees, has a strong track record of providing this kind of accommodation, and we are confident that they have the ability to manage the vessel and its supporting services. CTM has worked closely and successfully with local authorities and other public and voluntary organisations in Scotland.
