Nottinghamshire MP Robert Jenrick said migrants will be asked to share hotel rooms as the Government comes under pressure to reduce net migrations
Nottinghamshire MP Robert Jenrick has claimed the UK’s asylum system is “riddled with abuse” and revealed migrants will be asked to share hotel rooms as the Government comes under pressure to reduce net migrations.
He told the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: “The asylum system is riddled with abuse, we have to be honest with ourselves. The way to tackle that is by changing fundamentally the way we handle asylum.” Mr Jenrick said he did not think it was unreasonable to ask asylum seekers to share rooms after a group this week apparently refused to enter a Pimlico hotel where the Home Office had asked them to sleep “four people per room”.
“Yes, some of them had to share with other people. These are single adult males: I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
