Our ambition is to house asylum seekers within the asylum estate without the need for contingency accommodation. We are working to address the issues putting pressure on our asylum accommodation including resuming cessation of support for those whose cases have been decided. This frees up accommodation for new claimants and allows us to reduce our use of contingency measures.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence has given permission to use the site for up to 12 months; this facility will be temporary, and we will discontinue it as soon as we are able.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 02/11/2020 15:27:19 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
