Staffordshire County Council Leader, Ian Cooper, has expressed his disappointment regarding the excessive spending of taxpayers' money on hotels for asylum seekers.
"The squandering of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on costly hotels is nothing short of a disgrace.”
A report by the Home Affairs Committee highlighted "flawed contracts" and "incompetent delivery" as the reasons behind the Home Office's reliance on hotels as a long-term solution instead of temporary accommodation.
