after his constituency was selected to host the barge “without consultation”.
A spokesperson for Migrant Help said “as a charity that has been working for 60 years to support people affected by exploitation and displacement, Migrant Help strongly believes that everybody deserves to feel safe and have their human rights protected. “It is so important that people seeking asylum, many of whom will have been through extremely disturbing experiences before arriving in the UK, are provided with the same care, safety and compassion as anyone else. We would hope that this is a consideration when identifying potential accommodation for those escaping wars and persecution to ensure that it does not create further hardship for already traumatised people. Therefore, we would strongly urge the government to reconsider this proposal.
The organisation doesn’t own or run asylum accommodation in the UK, but does “support people seeking asylum in raising issues and complaints with their accommodation providers.” One industry source toldLocal officials say they were not consulted on the plans, which are expected to be announced later on Wednesday.
Some politicians are concerned about the impact of the barges on tourism and local infrastructure, warning that the Dorset area in particular doesn’t have the capacity to support new arrivals.
