UK Home Office spent billions on asylum hotels, MPs say | BBC News
The Home Office has “squandered” billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on asylum accommodation, according to a report by a committee of MPs.
“Flawed contracts” and “incompetent delivery” left the department unable to cope with a surge in demand and it relied on hotels as “go-to solutions” instead of temporary stop-gaps, according to the Home Affairs Committee.
The MPs said expected costs had tripled to more than £15bn and not enough had been done to recoup excess profits.
A Home Office spokesperson said the government was “furious about the number of illegal migrants in this country and in hotels”, and reiterated its pledge to end the use of asylum hotels by 2029.

The US and Iran still need to work out several sticking points before an agreement on the war can be reached, Vice-President JD Vance has said.
Asked by the BBC if President Donald Trump was close to signing a deal, Vance said it was too early to say “when or if” the two sides would finalise an agreement.
Meanwhile, waves of Israeli strikes have hit southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, according to the Israeli military.
The escalation threatens to derail talks aimed at ending the war between the US and Israel on one side and Iran on the other.
Iran insists that any deal must also cover Lebanon. Israel says it reserves the right to continue to fight the threat from Hezbollah.
