Home Office could move asylum seekers into pop-up buildings as it scrambles over migrant hotel crisis

Asylum seekers could be moved from migrant hotels into pop-up buildings with plans to be announced “within weeks”, a minister has said as the government scrambles to get a grip on the asylum accommodation crisis.

Pop-up buildings have previously been used to tackle prison overcrowding, with rooms including en-suite bathrooms, a bed, a desk and televisions set up in prison grounds.
