Asylum accommodation

Inquiry

Government Response

The Home Affairs Committee says the current contract system for asylum accommodation isn't working and major reforms are needed. The Committee brands the state of some asylum accommodation provided by Government contractors a "disgrace" and says it is "shameful" that very vulnerable people have been placed in these conditions.

Please also see oral and written evidence received in Immigration Directorates inquiry, 9 February 2016.

A report 'The work of the Immigration Directorates (Q3 2015)' was published on 4 March 2016.
