Request summary

The 1999 Immigration and Asylum Act introduced the policy of national dispersal. In a parliamentary question answered in December 2015, The Home Office confirmed that 99 local authorities have signed up to participate in the national dispersal arrangements at the time [1]. A report by The National Audit Office suggests that this number increased to 180 as of March 2020 (see page 45-46 in [2]).
