Asylum seekers in UK face being moved to army bases or disused ferries – reports

Asylum seekers could be moved out of hotels and into military bases or disused ferries under government plans that could be announced next week, according to reports.

The proposals, first

by the Telegraph, have not been denied by government sources. However, they have told the Guardian they are “speculation”.

It is believed previous proposals involving the use of holiday camps and student halls are unlikely to be brought into use.
