To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what guidance he has issued to local authorities on their enforcement responsibilities under the Housing Act 2004 in respect of Houses in Multiple Occupation used to house asylum seekers by the Home Office or its contractors.
My Department has published no such guidance.
I otherwise refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 75141 on 16 September 2025.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether asylum seekers are currently housed in properties that do not hold a valid HMO licence under the Housing Act 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether asylum seekers are currently housed in properties that do not hold a valid HMO licence under the Housing Act 2004.
The Home Office has a legal obligation to support asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute. The Government is determined to restore order to the asylum system so that it operates swiftly, firmly and fairly, and ensures the rules are properly enforced. The Home Office utilises a range of accommodation types under the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract (AASC), including Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) where appropriate, alongside other forms of suitable accommodation.
The Home Office does not publish figures for the number of properties used under AASC that meet the definition of an HMO under the Housing Act 2004.
The Home Office does not publish detailed information on the location of asylum accommodation sites for safety and security reasons. Data, published quarterly, on the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation can be found within the Asy_D11 tab of our most recent statistics release. The data can broken down by local authority rather than by constituency.

The Home Office uses a range of accommodation types, including HMOs where appropriate, to meet its legal obligations. The Home Office does not publish data on the average number of individuals accommodated per property type, including HMOs. Occupancy levels are managed operationally by accommodation providers in line with contractual requirements and relevant housing standards.
All accommodation providers operating under the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract are contractually required to ensure that properties comply with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, including licensing requirements under the Housing Act 2004 where applicable.
Accommodation Providers are required to ensure that any property which meets the threshold for licensing holds a valid licence in accordance with local authority requirements and the Home Office works closely with providers and local authorities to ensure that standards are met and any issues are addressed.
The Home Office does not hold a centrally published record of the number of properties used since 1 July 2024 that did not hold a valid HMO licence at the time of occupation. Compliance with licensing requirements is an ongoing contractual obligation for providers, and the Home Office works closely with providers and local authorities to ensure that standards are met and any issues are addressed.
Providers must ensure that properties which require a licence hold a valid licence in line with local authority requirements. The Home Office works with providers and local authorities to monitor compliance and address any issues where they arise.

As at 29 February 2024, there have been 3,628 buildings that have applied to the Building Safety Fund. Of these, 3,488 buildings applied in the first tranche of opening and 140 applied in the second tranche of opening. Of the total that applied: 1,096 are ineligible – 1,089 are from the first tranche of opening and seven are from the second tranche. Further information about the status of buildings can be found at the following link.
The Cladding Safety Scheme via Homes England provides details on allocated spend for each building. Since its launch in July, it has interacted with over 1,000 buildings. 450 are currently engaging with the application process, carrying out technical reports to enable eligibility assessment. Within its first nine months, 170 buildings have been deemed eligible via technical assessment and can now progress with the relevant support and funding to procure construction contracts and start remediation works. To date, £28.25 million has been provided for this work to take place. To be allocated further funding, eligible applicants need to procure the works required and submit a package of funding for approval. We are awaiting the outcome of this procurement activity in the market for 165 buildings to enable the next steps to be taken. The five applicants where their works have been approved amount to an allocation of £11 million.
As at 29 February 2024, there are no buildings being monitored exclusively by the ACM programme and there are 15 buildings being monitored exclusively by the BSF programme that are having non-cladding defects remediated under the developer remediation contract. In addition, there are two buildings which are being monitored by both schemes. We do not have an estimate for the number of buildings in the ACM programme and BSF that are having non-cladding remediation works undertaken outside of the developer remediation contract.
Information on enforcement action taken by local authorities on high-rise residential buildings under the Housing Act 2004 by buildings in: i) the ACM programme, ii) the BSF programme and iii) neither programme, is published in table Enforcement_1 of the monthly data release.
