Penny Mordaunt has conceded it is “very hard” to protect vulnerable asylum seekers in hotels and that the Government has to address the issue “swiftly”.
The Commons Leader acknowledged there have been stories of gangmasters turning up at migrants’ hotels and “taking people away”, as she answered questions in the lower chamber.
She said it is, for “very obvious reasons, very hard to protect people in that kind of environment”, adding: “So we have to address this.”
This week, Home Office minister Robert Jenrick admitted 200 asylum-seeking children who were placed in hotels run by the Home Office are missing.
The disclosure was made after the Observer reported that a whistleblower from a Home Office hotel in Brighton had claimed some children had been abducted off the street outside the facility and bundled into cars.
Mr Jenrick said he had “not been presented with evidence that that has happened” but will continue to investigate.
Ms Mordaunt’s comments came in response to SNP Commons leader Deidre Brock, who condemned “a new low in dehumanising language” after comments allegedly made by Tory former minister Jonathan Gullis at Prime Minister’s Questions.
