The facility was overwhelmed on Sunday night, with 4,000 having to be housed in a centre originally designed for 1,600 to be moved on and processed within 24 hours. Ministers are also proposing a major expansion of the Manston camp amid warnings by officials that the Home Office is at risk of acting unlawfully by detaining so many within it – including some for up to four weeks – without additional accommodation on the site. "To make it easier and more efficient, we are looking at spot booking of hotels rather than requiring a whole hotel," said a government source. "We have two competing legal duties. First, we don't want to have people in Manston for too long. Secondly, we have a legal duty not to make people destitute. You cannot have thousands of people sent away with no plan to safely accommodate them." Mrs Braverman was accused of failing to help solve Manston's overcrowding problem by refusing to approve new hotels where asylum seekers could be sent in disputed reports published at the weekend. It follows a week of criticism over her reappointment as Home Secretary. In an attempt to tackle the criticism head on, she is understood to be ready this week to set out her version of events over her resignation to counter claims that she gave a misleading account of the security breach that led to her departure. 'The system has broken down' On Sunday, senior Tory MPs expressed concern at rising community tensions over the migrant crisis. They urged the Government to take immediate action to ease the crisis at Manston and urgently negotiate a new deal with France to stem the crossings. Sir Roger Gale, the MP whose constituency covers the centre, will on Monday seek to summon ministers to the Commons to give an "undertaking that instead of trying to pretend things can be handled at Manston, they commission enough accommodation" to ensure migran){kind=link}
Suella Braverman is considering plans to relieve ‘catastrophic overcrowding’ at the Manston asylum processing centre in Kent
Migrants are set to share hotels with the public under plans being considered by Suella Braverman to regain control of the Channel crisis.
Home Office officials are drawing up proposals for spot bookings of rooms rather than reserving entire hotels as part of a series of measures to tackle “catastrophic overcrowding” in the main asylum processing centre for Channel migrants at the disused Manston airfield in Kent.
The proposal was disclosed as pressure on the Home Secretary intensified after new questions emerged about he reappointment following her resignation for breaching the ministerial code and her handling of the migrant crisis.
Overcrowding at the processing centre worsened on Sunday after hundreds of migrants had to be transferred to Manston after their quayside reception centre at Tug Haven in Dover was petrol bombed by a man who then killed himself.
