CAMPAIGNERS are calling on the Home Office to scrap “cruel” plans to house asylum-seekers on “wasteland” at Yarl’s Wood.
The Home Office is seeking to expand the privately run removal immigration centre in Bedfordshire to accommodate up to 200 male asylum-seekers waiting for their claims to be decided.
The Morning Star understands that the men will be put in single-occupancy prefabricated portacabins on shrubland near the facility.
