"Asylum seekers are due to be removed from an Essex hotel after a council was granted a temporary High Court injunction blocking them from being housed there."
"The injunction was sought by Epping Forest District Council to stop migrants being placed at The Bell Hotel in Epping, which is owned by Somani Hotels Limited."
"Mr Justice Eyre made his judgement after refusing an 11th-hour effort from Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to get the council's case dismissed."

Educate yourself . |
At the height of hotel use, in June 2023, 51,000 asylum seekers were housed in more than 400 hotels across the UK, costing the Home Office £8 million a day. By March 2025, this had fallen to 32,345 asylum seekers in 218 hotels. |  | | |

One thing to bear in mind is that these are the figures for Home Office funded hotels. Once asylum seekers get refugee status, those who cannot support themselves become the responsibility of local authorities. Some LAs are also putting refugees in hotels. We need to see those figures too before we conclude that the trend is positive. The other point is that the number in Home Office hotels seems to be rising again. The June figures will be out soon. | | | |

Plus there is no point including the cost from 2023 and not 2025. |  | | |

A very different scenario though a refugee doesn't automatically get somewhere to live, an asylum seeker does. A refugee is allowed to work, an asylum seeker isn't.
All the more reason we need to process asylum claimants asap and send those we can home.
The silver bullet to this though is to stop them wanting to come here in the first place. | | | |

Not sure how that changes the point about the total number and cost of recent migrants in hotels. | | | |

Of course it does an asylum seeker has to be housed. A refugee doesn't. | | | |

BBC News - Badenoch encourages Tory councils to challenge asylum hotels
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy0j9n4qzwo
And then the Tories come out with this. The party who drew up the 10 year binding contract 6 years ago. And this utter moron stated this on live TV 3 years ago.

June figures now out show a 8% rise in the number of asylum seekers in Home Office funded hotels in Labour's first year in power. The number of hotels is down but number of occupants is up.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/asylum-hotel-numbers-up-8-on-last-
As mentioned above, this takes no account of hotels paid for by councils, which I would venture to guess has increased, given the way so many migrants have been waved through to refugee status and will not be able to find their own accommodation.
Scotia doesn't seem to want to address the question of the total number of hotel places financed from public funds. Talk about obfuscation! [Post edited 21 Aug 10:16]
