Migrants 'to be housed on barges and in disused military barracks' to curb hotel use
Migrants could be housed on barges and in disused military barracks as ministers seek to curb the use of hotels for asylum seekers, according to reports.
The Times reported that some 3,000 migrants currently living in hotels could be moved to the two bases. Rishi Sunak told his Cabinet on Tuesday that the cost of the current approach and the pressure it puts on local areas meant it was not sustainable, according to a No 10 readout. The Government’s controversial asylum proposals laid out in the Illegal Migration Bill are currently being debated in Parliament.
