Government to drop asylum hotel provider

The Home Office is stopping the use of hotels run by one of the largest providers of asylum accommodation.
Stay Belvedere Hotels (SBHL) is responsible for providing around a quarter of asylum accommodation operated by the Home Office.
The accommodation chain has responsibility for 51 hotels across England and Wales as well as Napier Barracks, a facility in Kent housing people waiting for asylum decisions which is due to close in September.
Its provider contract was signed by the previous Conservative government in 2019, and is worth around £2 billion a year.
BBC News has approached SBHL for comment.
