We recently set out to the House our plans for a fairer asylum accommodation system. It is not appropriate during a cost of living crisis, that the Home Office should be spending around £6m a day housing asylum seekers in hotels.</p><p>For these sites, we will use a phased approach, increasing the number of asylum seekers accommodated at the site over time. We will continue to work closely with key local stakeholders to address their concerns and minimise any potential impacts on the local area. We are nearing go-live date and will continue to provide more details.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 14/06/2023 16:51:05 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

The Home Office provides 24/7 health facilities at Manston, including trained medical staff and a doctor for all those on site.

We have worked closely with local police forces and MoD teams to ensure appropriate security arrangements are in place.</p><p>The Home Office has committed substantial funding to help minimise the impact on local communities and services. This includes 24/7 security, on-site catering, basic healthcare and transport provision for those accommodated on site. The government currently provides £3,500 to local authorities for new and occupied dispersal beds. This £3,500 funding for local authorities will be extended to the sites at Wethersfield.
