Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will provide an update on the progress of the Asylum Accommodation Programme pilots.

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. Suitable locations for Home Office-run pilots and allocation of funding are currently being reviewed. 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.
