Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on unused cruise ships potentially being used to house asylum seekers in the UK

from Holiday Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Disused cruise ships could be used to house asylum seekers in the UK. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has told a House of Lords committee a range of alternatives are on the table and are being looked at. She's revealed asylum seekers are currently being accommodated in hotels, racking up a bill of close to $10.5 million a day. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says it looks as though things are only going to get worse. He says 117,000 asylum seekers are currently being housed and that's only expected to increase.
