Recommendation 15
15
Home Office significantly delayed recouping excess profits from asylum accommodation providers.
Conclusion
It is extremely disappointing that the Home Office only appears to have started the process for recouping excess profits from accommodation providers in 2024. Accommodation providers told us they had tens of millions waiting to be returned to the Home Office. This money should be supporting the delivery of public services, not sitting in the bank accounts of private businesses. (Conclusion, Paragraph 70)
