People staying at of Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent, which is used by the government to house people seeking asylum
THE Home Office’s use of ex-military barracks to house asylum-seekers has inflicted “profound harm” on vulnerable people and must end, a study by MPs and peers urged today.
The Report of the Inquiry into Quasi-Detention also warns against government plans to expand the use of sites like Napier Barracks in Kent, which is still being used to house hundreds of asylum-seekers.
It refers to Napier as a “quasi-detention centre” due to the use of surveillance, security measures and dorm accommodation.
