The Prime Minister says he is unable to say when migrants will be moved back on the Bibby Stockholm barge at Portland Port.
The first asylum seekers arrived there earlier this month.
They were moved off just days later when tests revealed Legionella in the water supply, a bacteria that can cause the potentially fatal Legionnaires disease.
Mr Sunak said: "We're working through making sure that all the regulations are followed."
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has insisted the giant vessel is safe amid threats of legal action from firefighters.
