- Hundreds of asylum seekers moved from hotels to army barracks, Home Office announces
The Home Office has relocated hundreds of asylum seekers from government-funded hotels to army barracks, closing 11 asylum hotels across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Critics, including the Refugee Council, argue military sites are unsuitable and more costly than hotels, with 350 claimants moved to the Crowborough military camp.
