An MP has said he 'will do everything he possibly can' on concerns over asylum seekers being housed in hotels at a tourist destination. Matt Warman, the Tory MP for Skegness and Boston, has said he and the area's council is firmly focused on tackling the issues around refugees being put up in seaside Skegness hotels.
Councillors from East Lindsey District Council have threatened legal action in response to the Home Office's "unlawful" renting of five hotels to accommodate migrants, as per a pre-action letter sent to the Government reported on by Lincolnshire Live. Council leader Cllr Craig Leyland said it was "time to draw a line in the sand" and Mr Warman, 41, has backed the council's move, after previously saying the situation was "wholly unacceptable".
He said: "It's important that when people's elected representatives, whether it's the council or whether it's me, stand up and say things, they mean it and they're going to follow up. If that means following this up in court, then that's what we're going to do."
