Asylum seekers living in hotel rooms after travelling to the UK claim it is like "living in jail" and they are "bored", according to a report. The Mail Online says the cost of housing refugees in the 395 hotels being used by the Home Office is £6.8m a day, with Home Secretary Suella Braverman planning to end the scheme as it does not represent "good value for money".
The Mail says that the Government is expected to shortly announce plans to stop the practice in favour of using converted disused military sites after the use of hotels sparked controversy in some of the areas where migrants have been placed. Protests by the far-right and anti-fascists have taken place near migrant hotels in Liverpool and Cornwall in recent weeks.
However, the Mail says that some migrants are also not happy with the scheme used to offer them temporary accommodation. It says that around 150 asylum seekers living in the three-star Grosvenor Hotel, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, are unhappy with their living spaces.
