Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her letter of 18 November 2022 to all hon. and Rt hon. Members on Use of Hotels for Asylum Seekers, if she will place in the Library a copy of a sample factsheet and briefing pack on asylum, asylum support and accommodation.

Accommodation costs including costs associated with the provision of goods and services related to accommodation are considered to be commercially confidential, therefore the Home Office does not publish this information. However, total expenditure on asylum is published in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/ho-annual-reports-and-accounts.

The copy of the factsheet and briefing pack will be a live document and will be reviewed regularly.
