To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made regarding the finances of renting the Bibby Stockholm for the detention of asylum seekers.
Lord Hanson of Flint
The Minister of State, Home Department
As part of the government’s commitment to fix the asylum system and clear the backlog, the decision has been taken to not renew the contract for the Bibby Stockholm, which ends in January 2025. Extending the use of the Bibby Stockholm would have cost over £20 million next year.
