Fifty hotels will be closed
Fifty hotels will be closed to asylum seekers by January and the government will "not stop there", immigration minister Robert Jenrick has told MPs.
He said hotel contracts would end in "all four nations of the UK" in the coming months as his plan to cut asylum claims was "starting to work".
About 400 hotels were being used to house record numbers of asylum seekers.
The hotel contracts cost the taxpayer £8m a day, which Mr Jenrick said was "unacceptable" and "unsustainable".
Nick Ellerby reports live from Wigan, one of the places where migrant hotels will be closing, to get the reactions of the public and deputy mayor of Wigan, Councillor Debbie Parkinson.
