Local Authorities: Temporary Accommodation Costs

Contribution

I do not have the exact figure for the right reverend Prelate, but I will write to him with it if it is available. I mentioned earlier the huge pressures we inherited in the asylum system. We are working hard to make sure that asylum seekers get a decision quickly and that we help local authorities plan more effectively as we reduce the number of asylum seekers waiting for the decision. Support is available through Migrant Help and its partner organisation, including advice on how to access universal credit and the labour market and signposting to local authorities for assistance with housing.
