Suella Braverman today confirmed cruise ships could be used to house Channel migrants as she rejected calls for independent experts to rule on asylum claims.
The Home Secretary insisted all options for accommodating would-be refugees - including on luxury liners - remained “on the table”.
Asked about hosting them on cruise ships, she told peers the Government needed to stop housing migrants in hotels, which costs taxpayers more than £5million a day - about £2.3billion a year.
