What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Government MPs defeated cross-party amendments that sought to require the Home Office to publish a full suitability assessment and a detailed cost breakdown before using large asylum accommodation sites. The amendments, tabled by Calum Miller, concerned the former RAF Linton-on-Ouse site, which could accommodate around 1,250 single adult men. The site has been noted to have limited public transport, flood-prone roads, and lacks mains gas.
