Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 14 July (HL1286), when details of the new model for dispersal of asylum seekers will be published.

We are committed to working collaboratively with Local Authorities on the redesign of the asylum dispersal system, to deliver a system which houses asylum seekers more fairly and equitably across England, Wales and Scotland.

An informal consultation with partners shapes the redesign of the asylum dispersal system closed on 1 July. We have taken on board the representations made during the informal consultation period and are building the feedback into our plans for regional allocations. We will communicate these to Local Authority partners shortly.
