Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish a timetable for the cessation of the use of the Great Northern Hotel in Peterborough as asylum accommodation.

Answered by Robert Jenrick - Shadow Secretary of State for Justice

Due to the continued pressures on the Asylum Estate, we are needing to use emergency accommodation hotels for a longer period that originally envisaged, and this has resulted in the conversion of this hotel to lo0nger term contingency accommodation.

There is no plan to decant this site and by using this site as longer-term contingency accommodation, there should be more of a settled residency staying in the hotel until they are dispersed into longer term accommodation. Service users will be supported to registered with health services, access school places, engagement with other local services such as ESOL, engage NGOs for more long terms support (over and above that provided by Migrant Help), accessing local faith groups.

⭐️ PETERBOROUGH HEROES ⭐️ I met Dean Watson - a great man who has dedicated much of his working life to inspiring young people through sport. He was the first ever black FA CEO (Hunts FA) in its 125 year history. And he lives here in #Peterborough ? #proudofpeterborough https://t.co/APflsi8dha

⭐️ CLEANING UP OUR CITY CENTRE I have written to the Police asking them how they will use their new anti-social behaviour powers. We need more enforcement against street drinking and aggressive begging. The new plan should remove any operational reason not to enforce the law ? https://t.co/isf8mPQqc2

I spoke to a group of #Peterborough Secondary School teachers. I responded to an in-depth research project collating how student feel about schools, safety and their future ? I outlined my vision for schools - we are turning our City into a high wage, high skill economy ? https://t.co/zuMKa3UPAZ

WATCH - £5 million for the Cresset? I took the Minister to the @TheCresset, #Peterborough to show her the difference the £5 million will make. The team put together a super bid - something I supported 100% ? This will mean the Cresset is there for generations to come ? https://t.co/G9j4pe8Ron

The only way to save lives in the English Channel, and defeat evil people smugglers, is to stop the boats. Yet Labour have opposed measures to stop small boats and secure our borders every step of the way. Despite Labour, we have voted on a new law to do just this. https://t.co/rq7CJaPWoA

Gimme a break ? I sit on the Health and Social Care Committee and am fully behind sensible preventative health. But this is constant nannying is tiresome. Labour are out of touch. https://t.co/PMfkGH1opd

Have been out and about listening to residents and campaigning in Netherton. Sabeel Ahmed is working hard and fighting to improve local streets, fixing roads and footpaths and tackling speeding ?? https://t.co/3EdM5Z77Dj

Was walking past both Manor Drive schools today. Building a brand new school is a huge undertaking and to see them both there ready to offer an excellent education to our City’s young people makes me #proudofpeterborough ? https://t.co/OC4LvM66i3
