In a bid to reduce the cost of illegal immigration, the UK government has announced plans to stop using dozens of hotels currently housing thousands of asylum seekers. Home Office minister Robert Jenrick revealed in the House of Commons on Tuesday that the number of asylum hotels will be reduced by 50 by January 2024.
Jenrick informed MPs, “The first 50 of these exits will begin in the coming days and will be complete by the end of January, with more tranches to follow shortly.” He emphasised the government’s commitment to implementing its strategy to curb illegal immigration while ensuring the orderly and effective management of the transition to limit the impact on local communities.
