Immigration minister Robert Jenrick said that once the Bibby Stockholm barge is will be a 'cheaper form of accommodation' than hotels. He says the government will put the interests of the British taxpayer over illegal migrants.
Suella Braverman was today urged to reveal the true cost of housing asylum seekers on the Bibby Stockholm barge after a Labour estimate put the cost at more than £800 per migrant per night.
The Home Office has pointed out that the barge's full capacity is 504, suggesting that this cost would fall in the future. But today, campaigners urged ministers to publish specific numbers. 'The enormous hotel bill is clearly unsustainable, and the government must find cost effective alternatives. Last year the Mail reported how migrants were housed at 'Downton Abbey-style' four-star Stoke Rochford Hall, near Grantham in Lincolnshire. It has previously been advertised as a luxury Victorian country mansion. The government has vowed to move small boat migrants from luxury hotels, such as the Grosvenor Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire
