What assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the number of police officers.
The Government is committed to ensuring that the police have the resources they need.This year we are providing a total of up to £376.8 million specifically to support forces to achieve officer headcounts as set out in the 2025/26 police funding settlement.We are also providing £200 million to kickstart the delivery of 13,000 more neighbourhood policing personnel.
Whether her Department has commissioned the use of hotel accommodation for the purpose of housing asylum seekers within the Arun District since 5 July 2024.
For the safety and security of those we accommodate and our staff, the Home Office does not comment publicly on sites which may or may not be utilised to accommodate asylum seekers.When a hotel has been identified for use as contingency accommodation, Home Office officials will write to the local authority Chief Executive and the constituency MP to inform them of plans to accommodate asylum seekers there.
Whether his Department offers protection to staff from unfair dismissal from their first working day.
In line with the current requirements of employment legislation regarding fair dismissal processes, new Home Office employees who have not previously completed a probationary period in the Civil Service are required to serve a period of at least six months’ probation.During this time they can be dismissed, following a fair process, if their conduct, performance or attendance does not meet the expected standards.
