UK to Move Hundreds of Asylum Seekers from Hotels to Military Sites
The UK government will relocate around 900 male asylum seekers from hotels to two military sites — Cameron Barracks in Inverness and Crowborough Camp in East Sussex — to cut costs and reduce hotel dependence. The Home Office says the shift will save millions amid criticism over £3 billion annual hotel expenses. Experts warn the plan could face logistical and welfare challenges, while ministers insist further “modular” sites will follow to house more people.
