Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if they will list the total number of performance failures recorded under each of the seven regional Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts (AASC) in each year from 2019 to 2024; and what the total value of the financial penalties levied in response was in each of those years.

The full set of contractual KPIs for each AASC region has been published online and can be accessed via Contracts Finder at the following links:

Performance results for the AASC contracts are commercially sensitive. Releasing detailed, supplier level performance data could undermine the Department’s ability to manage and assure the delivery of these live contracts effectively. For this reason, the Home Office does not publish individual supplier performance results.
