London hotels threaten to drive out asylum seekers after they had not received any payments from the government broken off by the government.
Stay Belvedere Hotels (SBHL), a specialized in Mayfair specialized apartment service provider that provided around a quarter of migrant accommodations in around 50 hotels in England and Wales.
But in the past month, the department announced that the contract, which it awarded in 2019 after an audit, announced the concerns about the company’s performance.
Your customers, which include hotels in capital, claim that they are not able to pay their insurance premiums due to unpaid invoices by SBHL.
An owner of a group of migrant hotels told the Daily Telegraph: “We say that there is no option if there is no payment. We have to vacate asylum seekers.”
There are around 38,000 asylum seekers in hotels at a price of £ 5.5 million a day for the state.
Of these, more than 13,000 – a third of the total – came in London, the highest number for every region in the country.
SBHL was subsequently under contracted by Clearsprings Ready Homes, one of three overarching providers who have decades of contracts with the government to ensure asylum seekers for charges that are waiting for damage decisions.
Clearsprings, the real estate of which have been repeatedly examined for their poor quality, tripled to £ 91 million in two years last year.
The contract for the management of the Hotels of SBHL is transferred to Mears, Serco and Corporate Travel Management (CTM), which was later criticized for running the Bibby Stockholm Lastkahn in Portland, Dorset.
Government officers said that all invoices paid by the Ministry of the Interior had been paid.
“If there is no payment, there is no option”
One source said: “We continue with the transition from SBHL and Clearsprings.
It is now due to SBHL and Clearsprings to fulfill their contracts and pay the hotels that the cash owed has.
Although most hotels are in the capital, there are also real estate in coastal cities such as Bournemouth in Dorset, Eastbourne in East Sussex and Folkestone in Kent.
Interior Minister Yvette Cooper is currently reviewing all the contracts that Labor has inherited from the previous conservative government, including that for Clearsprings.
The move, as the number of migrants who arrive over the English Channel on British soil, has set a new record for the first three months of the year.
Figures show that in the first three months of 2025 more than 6,600 people were detected in small boats – more than 30 percent more than the previous record of almost 5,000 at that time last year.
