The Bibby Stockholm at Portland Port in Dorset, August 8, 2023
OFFICIAL assessments that housing asylum-seekers on the Bibby Stockholm barge was discriminatory were deleted today after they were published online by mistake.
The impact assessment, which deemed the policy of housing asylum-seekers on the barge and former air base to be “directly discriminating in relation to age [and] sex” because the barge is only suitable for men aged 18 to 65, was deleted from the government’s website two days after being published.
A note on the website said that the impact assessment had been “published in error.”
