It is likely that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will unveil proposals to move asylum seekers out of hotels and into military bases and disused ferries as soon as next week. The two potential sites being considered are RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire and MDP Wethersfield in Braintree, Essex, where the people seeking sanctuary in the UK will be provided with 'decent but rudimentary' lodgings. Additionally, ferries may also be used to house asylum seekers, although plans to use holiday camps and student halls may be unlikely. Refugee rights groups have commented that hotels are becoming 'increasingly unsafe' due to a rise in right-wing violence.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak could potentially unveil proposals to move asylum seekers out of hotels and into military bases and disused ferries as early as next week. It is possible Sunak may proclaim the 'beginning of the end' of the use of hotels to house asylum seekers, with two military bases being considered, RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire and MDP Wethersfield in Braintree, Essex. People currently residing in hotel accommodations and those arriving via small boats across the English Channel will be eligible to be placed in these former military bases. Old army camps may also be converted into makeshift lodgings and disused ferries may be used to hold asylum seekers, some of whom have escaped from war and persecution. This has caused concern among the local population and a group of historians, who penned an open letter condemning the plans. The Home Office has stated that it is working with government agencies to identify and provide a range of accommodation options. Refugee rights groups have warned that hotels have become 'increasingly unsafe' due to a rise in right-wing violence.
