SUELLA Braverman and the Home Office have been slammed for proposing to introduce enforced room sharing for asylum seekers at hotels in Scotland.
the prospect of room sharing
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said earlier this year those fleeing conflict and persecution to come to the UK should be “willing” to share rooms with others in a bid to increase capacity and drive down costs. “The bill that the taxpayer is currently footing for asylum seeker accommodation is of course obscene, but this ‘doubling up’ concept is not the answer and actually creates more problems in practice. Not only will it adversely impact these individuals’ welfare, which will in turn increase demand on local health services, but it also does nothing to address the issue at its heart.
Having visited the hotels themselves, the Perth and North Perthshire MP laid out in his letter that the rooms are “far too small” to accommodate two people, and he spoke of hotel residents coming to his office in a “great deal of distress” due to the lack of information they have been provided with in regards to their asylum claim.
