A derelict building in Liverpool that has not been a hotel for 17 years was earmarked to house asylum seekers by the government, it has been claimed.
Liverpool Wavertree MP Paula Barker made the remarkable revelation at the Home Office Affairs Committee today as MPs questioned Home Secretary Suella Braverman over the situation regarding asylum seekers in the country.
Ms Braverman continues to face pressure over the treatment of asylum seekers at the Manston migrant processing centre, which became dangerously overcrowded earlier this year.
