MPs and councillors raise concerns at the ‘wholly unacceptable’ blunder that allowed the 39-year-old suspect to disappear
An asylum seeker arrested for rape at a migrant hotel has gone missing after being transferred to another hotel booked by the Home Office.
MPs and councillors on Wednesday night raised concerns at the “wholly unacceptable” blunder that had allowed the 39-year-old suspect to disappear from the hotel in Buckinghamshire.
Robert Jenrick, the immigration minister, promised to urgently investigate the “very concerning” incident after being alerted to it in the Commons on Wednesday.
It is likely to raise further questions over the use of hotels to house 37,000 asylum seekers at a cost of nearly £6 million a day.
