Home Office to Share Asylum Hotel Data with Food Delivery Firms to Curb Illegal Work. The UK Home Office will begin sharing the locations of hotels housing asylum seekers with food delivery companies in a bid to tackle illegal working. Under the new agreement, platforms like Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats will monitor suspicious activity—such as accounts frequently operating near asylum hotels. The move targets the practice of delivery riders sharing accounts with migrants who don’t have the legal right to work. Asylum seekers cannot work for at least 12 months after arriving in the UK or until their claim is approved. Food delivery firms have already removed thousands of accounts and are tightening ID checks. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the plan aims to protect vulnerable people, crack down on organised immigration crime, and support fair businesses.
