Fundamental failures in housing asylum seekers in military barracks – report | The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald

By Press Association 2021 Napier Barracks More details on findings from inspectors that the Home Office made “fundamental failures” in housing asylum seekers in military barracks have been released. Two watchdogs inspected conditions in Napier Barracks in Kent and Penally Camp in Wales, and key findings were published last month. However, a full report, released on Thursday amid a court case, has laid bare the extent of the concerns raised. Both sites have been used to accommodate hundreds of asylum seekers since September, despite Public Health England warning the Home Office that it was unsuitable. The High Court heard this week that the more than 100-year-old accommodation at Napier – a former Ministry of Defence site to temporarily house soldiers – was “unsafe”, with six asylum seekers who had previously stayed there describing the conditions as “appalling”.
