§ Sir Michael SpicerTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment he has made of the additional funding required for social services if an asylum seekers centre were to be established at Throckmorton airfield. [48724]
§ Mr. HuttonI have been asked to reply.
Proposals for trial accommodation centres for asylum seekers include primary health care facilities on site, to be funded by the Home Office. As yet, no assessment has been made in respect of any additional health or social care needs. The Department and the Home Office are working closely on these matters.
