UK inspectors says migrants coming from northern France are being held in sub-standard conditions, despite government promises to improve accommodation
Monitoring groups found that migrants were held in"cold conditions", including on double-decker buses used to transport migrants and which were sometimes used for sleeping.
The findings by the Inspectorate of Prisons and independent volunteer monitoring groups came after visits to migrant detention facilities in the last three months. They also raised concerns about injuries sustained by migrants on the crossing, including fuel burns, cuts and bruises which went unnoticed on arrival and at processing.
Britain has this year faced an unprecedented number of arrivals from migrants using small boats to cross the Channel.
