What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • Where have the displaced asylum seekers been relocated?
  • The starting and ending numbers of asylum seekers accommodated in hotels.
  • The exact dates defining the 12-month comparison.
  • Whether the comparison uses consistent definitions, geographic coverage and methodology.
  • What accommodation or case outcomes account for the reduction.
