There are now 20,000 fewer migrants staying in the accommodation than six months ago, the Home Office says.
Some 150 migrant hotels will have closed by May, the Home Office has said, after new figures showed £4.3 billion of Britain’s overseas aid budget was spent on hosting refugees and asylum seekers last year.
Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick announced last October that the Government would be “exiting” 50 hotels by the end of January, with more to follow. The announcement comes shortly after the Independent Commission for Aid Impact said it had found the amount of aid spent on hosting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK soared last year to £4.3 billion.
The National Audit Office said around £1.2 billion is expected to spent on housing migrants in large sites. However, both were accommodating just under half the number of migrants the Home Office expected would be the case at the end of January.
