There are nearly 30,000 migrants living in more than 250 hotels at a cost of 4.2 million per day.

Sir Keir Starmer pledged in Labour ’s election manifesto to “end asylum hotels, saving the taxpayer billions of pounds ” The party did not set a timeframe on closing hotels but Home Office officials had been expected to close the last hotel within a year .

The provision applied to all migrants who arrived illegally since March last year .

It was estimated to have left more than 50,000 migrants in limbo as caseworkers prevented from processing their claim.

The Home Office could bring back a fast-track scheme that prioritised claims from unsafe countries such as Afghanistan , Iran and Eritrea .
