Conservative MPs believe immigration will be a key issue in the run-up to the next election.
For more and more Conservative MPs, the Home Office commandeering local hotels to house those seeking asylum is a visible sign of the system not working. The use of these hotels has ballooned in recent years, as small boat crossings in the Channel have surged since 2018, and asylum decisions slowed during the COVID pandemic. The Home Office says it is spending £8.2m a day on hotels currently. In 2022/23 the Budget was £3.6bn, around double what it was in 2021/22.
The Home Office said they had been given the required notice of five days. It's understood some of the asylum seekers have been moved to other hotels up to 25 miles away. The government is not only struggling with the backlog - but with finding other suitable 'dispersal' accommodation in local authority areas. The Home Office has not released details of which hotels will be closed, but some MPs have revealed the locations, and hope to show local residents that progress is being made.
