Housing asylum seekers at RAF base ‘to cost £500 a night’ each
Summary
Housing asylum seekers at a former RAF base could cost more than £500 a night per migrant, a campaign group has claimed. Residents opposing the plans to place more than 1,200 asylum seekers at the former RAF base at Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire made the calculation based on National Audit Office (NAO) figures for a similar scheme that Labour had abandoned because it was not good value for money.
