answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2022 answer text <p>Before the high number of arrivals from August 2022 onwards, Manston had proven to be a streamlined and efficient asylum processing centre, where biographic and biometric details were taken and assessed against Home Office databases, asylum claims registered and the vulnerable assessed. Since then, the department has taken every step possible to ensure that any period of detention is as brief as possible, arrivals are processed quickly and, where appropriate, given initial asylum accommodation. We have been sourcing more bed spaces with local authorities and in contingency accommodation such as hotels, and we have erected additional marquees at Manston to increase the space available.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 15/11/2022 14:42:15 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2022 answer text <p>Due to the continuing unprecedented high volume of small boats arrivals and the historical pressure from COVID-19 measures on the asylum system it has been necessary to continue to use hotels to accommodate some asylum seekers to meet our immediate statutory need.</p><p> </p><p>Asylum seekers granted accommodation and support whilst their applications are being considered are not detained and are free to come and go as they please. They are clearly advised of the expectations the Home Office and our accommodation providers have for them to behave responsibility while they reside in our properties and not to engage in any form of criminal or anti-social activity. All incidents are reported to the Home Office immediately by the providers; this is a contractual requirement. We then work with the provider to put additional measures in place, if required. This includes working with other statutory bodies including police to investigate any potential criminal activities. We do not comment publicly on operational arrangements at individual sites.</p><p> </p><p>Community cohesion is an important aspect of using contingency sites successfully and we will continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders in multi-agency forums to understand and address any concerns appropriately as the site operates.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 15/11/2022 17:39:10 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
