Staffordshire Leader Reacts to "Squandered" Billions of Taxpayers' Money

Staffordshire County Council Leader, Ian Cooper, has expressed his disappointment regarding the excessive spending of taxpayers' money on asylum hotels.

"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 attributed the issue to "flawed contracts" and "incompetent delivery", which has led the Home Office to rely on hotels as a primary solution instead of temporary measures.
