Home Office drops plan to house asylum seekers in prison-style camp

Bedford borough councillor Louise Jackson said she believed the plans had stalled because the large numbers on the site would not be Covid-secure. An outbreak of Covid with more than 120 confirmed cases at Napier barracks in Folkestone, which is being used to accommodate asylum seekers, contradicted Home Office claims that accommodation was Covid-secure. “The Covid management plan put forward by the Home Office was nowhere near sufficient to prevent an outbreak, and I am really pleased that the government have seen sense and withdrawn their proposals for the Yarl’s Wood site,” said Jackson. “I just hope that they won’t try to replicate the Yarl’s Wood asylum camp somewhere else. It’s very hard to see how accommodating people in this manner can ever be made safe in a pandemic.”

Home Office drops plan to house 200 asylum seekers in prefab-style accommodation at Yarl s Wood

Home Office drops plan to house 200 asylum seekers in prefab-style accommodation at Yarl’s Wood May Bulman © Provided by The Independent The Home Office has dropped a controversial plan to house hundreds of asylum-seekers in prefab-style accommodation on the site of Yarl’s Wood removal centre, saying it no longer needed the additional capacity. The department said that, after “careful consideration”, it had decided not use the site adjacent to the detention facility in Bedford to hold around 200 people seeking sanctuary in Britain. The decision came a day before lawyers were set to take the Home Office to court over the plans, arguing that the government had cut corners by failing to obtain planning permission or carry out the necessary impact assessments in a rush to set up the new facility.
