British Military Sites to House Refugee Applicants in Effort to End Hotel Accommodation
Several hundred refugee applicants could be placed in defense installations as the authorities works to phase out the utilization of hotels.
Discussions are underway regarding the utilization of two locations - a facility in Scotland and another in the southern England - for housing for 900 men.
The PM has ordered Home Office and Ministry of Defence officials to accelerate initiatives to locate proper military sites.
The ruling party has pledged to end the utilization of temporary hotel accommodations, which have required billions in funds and turned into a focal point for immigration opposition demonstrations.
Proposed Defense Locations
Asylum seekers might be placed in the Cameron military facility in the Scottish city and Crowborough military training facility in East Sussex by the final days of the upcoming month.
Industrial sites, temporary accommodation and vacant properties are also being reviewed for future accommodation.
Authorities Commitments
Government sources indicated that all sites would comply with health and safety standards.
"We are furious at the scale of illegal migrants and refugee lodging facilities."
"The current leadership will shut down all refugee hotels. Preparations are well underway, with additional appropriate locations being identified to alleviate strain on local areas and reduce refugee accommodation expenses."
Present Housing Data
Approximately 32 thousand individuals seeking protection are currently being housed in hotel facilities, representing a reduction from a high point of over fifty-six thousand in the previous year.
A recent report found that billions of taxpayers' money had been "squandered" on asylum accommodation.
Earlier Military Facility Utilization
Two previous defense facilities - former RAF base in southeastern England and Napier Barracks in the southern county - are presently being used to accommodate individuals seeking protection after being established under the former government.
The Prime Minister commented on the circumstances, saying: "The government is determined to terminate every refugee hotel. It's difficult to express how frustrated and angry I am that we face a situation as substantial as this by the previous administration."
