In a debate today, Gagan Mohindra MP (South West Hertfordshire/Conservatives) questioned the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper MP (Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley/Labour), on the issue of hotels for those caught crossing the English Channel illegally.
He asked if she can provide a methodology for choosing hotels ahead of time, so that his constituents can stay informed. Many hotels have been used in the past. Cooper said it’s important to do, and claimed her department is also busy clearing the backlog of claims.
