Home Office written question – answered at on 6 March 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much the Government is paying private landlords to house asylum seekers in Stockton-on-Tees local authority area.
The Government does not pay private landlords for accommodating asylum seekers
as there is no direct contractual relationship between the Home Office and
private landlords. Accommodation is provided through third party accommodation
providers under the COMPASS contracts. Accommodation in the Stockton-on-Tees
area is provided via a contract with G4S and the associated costs are regarded
as being commercially sensitive and are not available for disclosure.
