The company paid to domestic migrants in hotels loses the office contract for performance and behavior “
Good morning. There are many reasons why people oppose tens of thousands of asylum seekers hosted for long periods in the hotel and other temporary accommodation, but it is the perception that this allows a small number of companies to create enormous profits at public expense to provide what is often a miserable service. This morning we learned that the Home Office He is doing something about it. He removed the contract for this work by Stay Belvedere Hotels (SBHL), blaming “concerns about his services and his behavior as a government supplier”.
In a press release released shortly after midnight, he says:
The Ministry of the Interior took measures to remove Stay Belvedere Hotels (SBHL) from the government’s operations.
SBHL, which is responsible for the management of 51 hotels in England and Wales and Napier Barracks which hosts people pending asylum decisions, is removed following the examination of the contract and contractual agreements with the Ministry of the Interior, including concerns about its services and behaviors as the government supplier.
The safety and safety of people who work and stay in temporary accommodation is a government priority, together to guarantee a money value for the taxpayer. The Ministry of the Interior has worked carefully in recent weeks to implement solid plans to ensure that asylum services continue to operate normal during this transition with the least possible interruption for asylum seekers and staff.
AND Angela EagleThe Minister for Frontiere safety and the asylum, said:
Since July we have improved the management of contracts and added greater supervision of our asylum housing suppliers.
We made the decision to remove the Belvedere residence hotels from the supply chain of domestic offices and we will not hesitate to take further actions to ensure the delivery of the contracts for the offices for the United Kingdom.
The Ministry of the Interior confirmed the news after the publication of the Times a relationship Of Matt Dathan Speaking of SBHL that loses the contract. Dathan says:
Sources said that it was one of the worst examples of companies that were taking advantage of the kindergarten crisis to create a profit. The latest accounts published in SBHL show that it has made a record profit of over £ 50 million …
(The move) comes after the treasure ordered the Ministry of the Interior To find cheaper suppliers and prevent private companies from “profit from the kindergarten crisis.
In a document published by the new Office for Valine for Money (Ovfm), it says that the companies that have been contracted to find hotels for migrants have “made record profits in recent years, leading to charges of profit” …
With over 38,000 migrants in hotels, it costs to the Ministry of Home Office £ 5.5 million per day.
Dathan says that one of the companies that will hire these hotel contracts is the management of business travel, the company that managed the Biby Stockholm barge when it was used to host asylum seekers.
The government is more eager to talk about something else: a Announcement of the treasure About an investment of £ 2 billion in social and convenient housing. AS Jessica Elgot AND Richard Partington Report, the announcement comes a day before the spring declaration, at a time when Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, is anxious to persuade the parliamentarians who are more in the government program than simply spend cuts. Report:
A source of Whitehall said that the announcement of the social housing and the 600 million pounds in the field of construction capacity announced on the weekend were the attempts to “sweeten the pill” before Wednesday bringing the plans forward from the revision of the expense.
The £ 2 billion will actually link the gap between the current expenses at affordable prices due to the deadline in 2026 and the next financing regulation that will arrive in the revision of spending in June, when a subsequent program should be announced.
Here is the agenda for the day.
