Episode Details

The government is eyeing three former military bases—two in Oxfordshire and Suffolk, and one in North Yorkshire near York—to house up to 3,750 asylum seekers, aiming to phase out hotel accommodations. The North Yorkshire site, previously rejected in 2022 due to local opposition and lack of infrastructure, is being reconsidered despite ongoing concerns from residents and officials. Meanwhile, 20 hotels have recently closed, reducing asylum seeker housing from its peak. This move comes amid new immigration reforms, with officials framing military sites as a way to regain control of the asylum system.
