Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 April 2026

Debate

Immigration and Asylum (Provision of Accommodation to Failed Asylum-Seekers) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

The Home Office, we know, is moving asylum seekers from hotels. I will not start on the argument of whether or not there is a pull factor in this. The Government’s fact sheets describe military sites as “better suited” and, at the same time, “more basic”. I cannot quite reconcile those two descriptions.
