The cost of asylum claims is occupying the Labour thread.

But lest we forget...

Home Office paid £15m for unusable 'asylum camp' site

The National Audit Office (NAO) has said it will launch an investigation into the Home Office's decision to pay well over the market price for an abandoned prison site in order to use it to house asylum seekers - only to discover that widespread asbestos contamination meant the site was unusable. The Home Office spent £15.2m to buy the former HMP Northeye prison site in East Sussex, after its owners had paid just £6m to buy the site from the Ministry of Justice. The NAO has said it will look into how the process for acquiring the site "differed from standard practice", after a senior Home Office manager said the site was "bought due to a push by the minister before any due diligence was done".
