tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL801
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>Asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute can apply for free accommodation and cash support to cover their essential living needs whilst their cases are considered.</p><p>If they have an emergency need for accommodation they can ask to be put in initial accommodation whilst their support applications are being processed and the vast majority of such requests are processed on the same day. We aim to resolve Section 95 applications received from people in Initial Accommodation within 3 days and other applications from people staying in private accommodation within 10 days. All cases are considered on their own merits, in some cases applicants are asked to provide further information before a decision on eligibility can reached. Information on the average length of time between asylum support application and payment is not routinely collected and could only be provided by examination of individual case records, which would result in disproportionate cost.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 20/07/2017 10:44:01 question first ministerially corrected 20/07/2017 14:36:50 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford previous answer version 6009 answering member printed Lord Lee of Trafford answering member 1132
