The UK government has leased the Bibby Stockholm, which says it offers “luxury living,” for 18 months.
A giant three-story houseboat arrived in the UK Tuesday ready to house at least 500 asylum seekers to help ease a daily $7.5 million hotel bill.
The UK government announced last month that it had leased the barge for 18 months to house 500 single adult males who are free to come and go around the local area, a tourist hotspot. It will cost about $63 each day for each migrant, so about $31,500 a day when full — just a third of the price of keeping the migrants in hotels,More than 45,000 migrants crossed the Channel into the UK last year, costing at least $7.5 million a day to accommodate them in hotels, the government said.
“What are the conditions going to be like in a barge with 506 young men from all over the world — some possibly disturbed mentally — couped up in a quasi-prison?” MP Richard Drax asked The Telegraph.
