Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to raise the level of the asylum support allowance to support people seeking asylum from the impact of the cost of living crisis and rising inflation.

The level of allowance is reviewed annually to ensure it meets the sufficient living needs of asylum seekers. We are undertaking this year’s asylum support review and will announce the outcome through amendments to the Asylum Support Regulations 2000.
