§ Mrs. EllmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what issues were raised in the representations received by(a) him and (b) NASS in relation to (i) Landmark and (ii) Inn on the Park in Everton, Liverpool. [14457]
§ Angela EagleIssues raised in representations received by Home Office Ministers and the National Asylum Support Service (NASS) in relation to the Landmark and Inn on the Park buildings have included the quality of the accommodation, concern over public order and allegations about the treatment of asylum seekers.
Full consideration has been given to all the issues raised in representations, and the allegations surrounding the treatment of asylum seekers housed by NASS in the Landmark building have been thoroughly investigated by the police and by the Head of NASS's Investigations section. Those investigations and an on-going programme of contract management control by NASS, have indicated areas for improvement in the provision of Landmark's delivery of their contract and these either have been or are being dealt with. NASS continues to monitor all of its providers and where contractual obligations are not met the ultimate sanction is termination of the contract.
