Well given that an asylum-seeker will have had six months or more to plan their affairs pending the decision it's hardly the case that eviction from their digs will come as a great surprise, is it? Either way, they're going to have to sort out their accommodation, either in the private sector or at the local council, and will have had several months at least to get on with doing it. I'm sure there are any number of migrants rights charities ready, willing and able to pitch with helpful advice and support. That's what taxpayers are funding them to do isn't it? Its pretty hard I find to secure private accommodation saying "I might want to take it in six months time but then again may not want to take it for nine months or possibly a year or I might never need it at all and no at the moment I don't have a job (I won't be allowed to look for one until very shortly before I need the accommodation) so no I can't prove to you that I can pay my rent.

Hence the appeal of social housing for this segment of the community. Even if the local council can't fix you immediately with the house of your dreams (with enough bedrooms to accommodate the additional 'family members' who will shortly be turning up) they're going to have to find you some form of interim accommodation since you'll be presenting as 'homeless' in the very near future.

The reality is they don't though, unless there are children involved.

The point is we never really know. The whole subject is concealed under a Cone of Silence.
There is no public scrutiny of this area.

It would be ‘ meaningless words ‘ whatever it was and whoever said it , until it became policy. I can faintly recall ‘ British jobs for British workers ‘ statement by a Labour PM . That was meaningless words to iirc. Yes. It was meaningless because Gordon Brown when uttering it knew it to be a violation of the EU Freedom of Movement requirements - but not the original rights in the 1957 treaty of rome which empowered only private sector workers and gave national governments the right to evict such workers at any time if their employment disadvantaged the indigenous workforce. The party whose manifesto he stole it from however meant every word and knew how to implement it.
