Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans his Department has to end the requisitioning of hotels for the housing of asylum seekers in Bournemouth.

We are making significant progress in closing hotels, with 50 due to be closed by the end of January, and more in the coming months.

We are also working to move asylum seekers into alternative, cheaper accommodation and have successfully cleared the legacy backlog by deciding more than 112,000 cases, while maintaining the integrity of the system.
