Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total cost of housing failed asylum seekers, broken down by the cost of (1) the border force, (2) hotels and other accommodation, and (3) any other costs.

Costs are subject to change depending on numbers being accommodated within the asylum system. Accommodation costs 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.
