Individuals have either 7 or 14 calendar days (depending on their circumstances) to respond with reasons why their claims should not be treated as inadmissible.</p><p>Following that time period, decisions on inadmissibility and removal can be made. The general approach as set out in the “Removal Agreements and Timescales” section of the guidance is that inadmissibility decisions are served with removal decisions, however that is not a requirement.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 03/11/2022 11:54:12 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2022 answer text <p>There is a significant effort underway to support the families into permanent homes as soon as we can so they can settle and rebuild their lives. We remain committed to matching evacuees to suitable settled accommodation and continue to work collaboratively alongside around 350 local authorities, government departments and other partners to meet the demand for housing.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, many families have, in recent months, taken steps to secure their own accommodation through the Find Your Own Accommodation scheme which opened on 29 June and empowers Afghan families to source their own accommodation. We are also looking at ways to make more suitable homes available in the private rented sector, and exploring alternatives to hotels for families who may have to remain in bridging accommodation for long periods.</p><p> </p><p>The length of time that a family will remain in bridging hotels is dependent on the availability of appropriate housing. The demographic complexity of the Afghan cohort, coupled with a shortage in supply of appropriate housing and reliance on local authorities to bring forth property pledges means that this remains challenging. We encourage families to accept appropriate properties as quickly as possible and urge local authorities to continue to do all they can to help house people.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 03/11/2022 13:54:22 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
