Home Office seeks to appeal against court ruling on asylum hotel

The government is looking for the right to object to a high court decision prevented by asylum seekers hosted in an Essex hotel.

At the beginning of this week, the EPPING Forest Region Council decided to stop people in the Bell Hotel in EPPING.

The Court rejected the last -minute effort to intervene from the Minister of Interior Yette Cooper and to reject the Council’s case.

If he succeeds in his new offer to be included, The government is expected to make another objection against him later.

Interior Minister Yette Cooper said the government was determined to close all shelter hotels, but it should be “properly managed”.

Authority said that the government is working as a part of a regular, planned and sustainable program that avoids creating problems for other areas or local councils that have returned to the chaos type that caused too many hotels in the first place, or the government.

He said: “In this case, the reason for the appeal of the Ministry of Interior is to ensure that the closure of all hotels can be made in a proper manner throughout the country.”

A high -level home office source said that this is a matter of “democracy” and that the judiciary should not tell the government where he could place and place asylum seekers and not.

In addition, Bell Hotel’s owner Somani Hotels said that the company’s lawyers would object to the court order that prevented the use of the hotel as accommodation for asylum seekers.

Holly Whitbread, a conservative parliamentary member, said that the application of appeal of the home office is “deeply disappointed”: “The government continues to remove the line that all hotels will close until the end of this parliament – Our community will not be able to wait four years.”

He said that the use of the hotel is unacceptable: “The protests have caused a large amount of deterioration for the lives of normal people living in EPPING, and it is not right for our community to fold more.”

Looking for a shelter living in the hotel Told to BBC The government must close hotels and allow asylum seekers to work to support themselves.

In recent weeks, after a asylum seeker living there, thousands of people came together near Bell Hotel in Essex.

EPPING Council, who brought his case, argued that the presence of the hotel was “the risk of increasing community tensions at a height and the risk of irreparable damage to local society”.

Before the decision, the Ministry of the Interior wanted to intervene in the case and said that the court’s decision could “significantly affect the ability to host asylum seekers in hotels in the UK hotels.”

The court decided in favor of the EPPING Council and said that 140 asylum seekers would have to leave the hotel at 16:00 on September 12th.

Since the decision, more than half a dozen council said they were thinking of doing similar legal action.

Protests and protests are expected to be held outside the country -wide hotels in the coming days.

While the government expects a decision to be made in a request for asylum, otherwise it is legally connected to find houses for asylum seekers who will be poor.

Increased number of asylum seekers to England have led to more use of hotels for accommodation.

The figures published by the government on Thursday showed that the number of asylum seekers hosted in hotels has reached 32,059 – an increase of 8% since the Labor Party came to power, but at the 2023 summit.

Until June, the number of asylum applications broke 111,000 new records.

Conservative Shadow Interior Minister Chris Philp said that it was “completely wrong” to decide to object to the closure of Bell Hotel.

“Instead of trying to keep illegal immigrants in expensive hotels, conservatives will deport almost all illegal arrests and will ensure that towns such as EPPING will never be put into this position again.”
