Home Office contractors ‘told about Bibby Stockholm Legionella on same day people boarded barge,’ council says
Wales Secretary David TC Davis admitted the crossings would “continue to be a problem”, but insisted some boats were being stopped.Rishi Sunak has made tackling the crossings one of five key priorities for his leadership and asked people to judge him on his management of the problem.
The Government was accused of allowing its “small boats week” of linked announcements on immigration to descend into farce following the Bibby Stockholm evacuation. The people who had been on the Bibby Stockholm, which had been billed as a cheaper alternative to expensive hotels for those awaiting the outcome of their claims, are now back being housed in other accommodation.
Asked whether the incident points to a wider failure within the Home Office, he told Times Radio: “No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t at all. The checks were being made.”
