British Armed Forces Sites to Accommodate Asylum Seekers in Initiative to Cease Hotel-Based Accommodation
Several hundred asylum seekers might be housed in defense installations as the administration seeks to end the use of temporary lodging.
Negotiations are underway regarding the use of two facilities - one in northern Britain and a second in the English south - for shelter for 900 male individuals.
The PM has directed Domestic Affairs and Defense Department officials to accelerate efforts to locate proper military sites.
The ruling party has pledged to end the operation of asylum hotels, which have consumed billions in funds and emerged as a focal point for immigration opposition demonstrations.
Under Consideration Military Facilities
Individuals may be placed in the Cameron military facility in Inverness and East Sussex training site in southeastern England by the end of next month.
Industrial sites, temporary accommodation and otherwise disused accommodation are also being considered for future accommodation.
Government Statements
Authoritative figures stated that all sites would adhere to safety regulations.
"The government remains deeply troubled at the level of unauthorized immigrants and temporary hotel accommodations."
"This government will close all refugee hotels. Work are well underway, with better facilities being identified to ease pressure on communities and cut migrant housing expenditures."
Present Shelter Figures
Nearly 32 thousand asylum seekers are presently being sheltered in hotels, representing a decrease from a high point of more than 56 thousand in last year.
A recent report found that billions of public funds had been "misused" on asylum accommodation.
Previous Military Site Usage
Two former military sites - MDP Wethersfield in southeastern England and the Napier facility in Kent - are currently being utilized to shelter individuals seeking protection after being established under the previous government.
The administration head remarked on the circumstances, saying: "I am determined to terminate all asylum hotels. I can't tell you how frustrated and angry the administration feels that we've been left with a challenge as big as the current circumstances by the previous administration."
