Politics latest news: Suella Braverman blocked hotel rooms for migrants to ‘process them quickly’, minister claims

Suella Braverman blocked the use of hotel rooms for migrants to “process them quickly”, a minister has claimed.

The Home Secretary came under fire at the weekend after claims she ignored legal warnings by keeping asylum seekers in processing centres for too long.

Mark Spencer, the farming minister, said when asked about the reports that Ms Braverman had “put the block” on hotel rooms being used for those arriving on British shores “because she wants to process them quickly”.

“We’ve got to try and make sure that those who are genuine asylum seekers – and there are safe routes of course to get here through a safe system – she wants to process them very quickly, and work out who we need to help protect, and who we need to return,” he told Sky News.

“There are a lot of people coming and we need to break that model, we need to make sure we stop these people coming across the Channel and that’s what we’re working to do.
