food and toilers inside Penally camp

ASYLUM-SEEKERS at an ex-army camp in Pembrokeshire are being given undercooked rice and chicken with feathers still attached, campaigners have claimed.

Reports of undercooked rice “swimming in water” and chicken served with feathers attached, are among the concerns raised.
