Why is the UK government fighting to keep asylum seekers in hotels? | BBC Newscast

Описание:

Today we discuss the government seeking the right to appeal against a High Court ruling that blocked a hotel in Essex from housing asylum seekers. Epping Forest District Council was granted a temporary injunction to stop people being placed at the Bell Hotel in Essex earlier this week. The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper unsuccessfully tried to get the case dismissed by intervening at the last minute. Adam speaks to BBC political correspondent Alex Forsyth, Dominic Casciani, BBC home and legal affairs correspondent, and Luke Tryl, a pollster from the More in Common think tank. We recorded the podcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live, while Adam filled in for Matt Chorley.
