Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Hanson of Flint on 15 September (HL9952, HL9953, HL9954, HL9955, HL9956), whether they will answer the questions put.
The Home Office has a statutory obligation to support asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute. Asylum Support provisions are reviewed regularly to ensure that we remain compliant in meeting our legal obligations. This can include consideration of how other countries provide support for people seeking asylum.
