Four-star hotel in Canary Wharf earmarked for asylum seekers
According to Tower Hamlets council, Labour intends to repurpose the London
hotel as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
On Wednesday morning, workers were pictured wheeling beds and mattresses
into the hotel.
A spokesman for the authority said: “We are aware of the Government’s
decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary
accommodation for asylum seekers.
“It is important that the Government ensures that there is a full package of
support for those staying at the hotel.
“We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all
necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place.”
