The Home Office has admitted to spending £500,000 a day on 5,000 empty hotel beds for migrants
returns to the Commons, despite announcing new amendments to quell safeguarding concerns for detained children and pregnant women.
It has been revealed the Home Office is already spending £6 million a day on housing 51,000 asylum seekers in nearly 400 hotels or other contingency accommodation such as hostels. He said arrivals were “unpredictable,” citing this weekend when more than 1,300 arrived in three days, many of whom were being moved into “buffer” hotels dotted around the country before being transferred to more permanent hotels.
Another change will prevent people who have already entered the UK without permission from being removed retrospectively after the legislation receives royal assent. The defeats raised the prospect of a prolonged stand-off between peers and the Government during so-called parliamentary ping-pong, when legislation is batted between the Lords and Commons.
The Bill is central to Rishi Sunak's pledge to "stop the boats" - one of five key commitments for his leadership - which remains mired in difficulties.
