Mr. Peter Tyndall:

I have made it clear that the short-term use of such accommodation is acceptable. However, can any of us imagine what it would have been like to raise our family in a hotel room? It is simply an entirely unsuitable medium-term or long-terms situation to put people in. Similarly, we have met people in situations where four unrelated men are sharing a room for many years, possibly from different countries and cultures. It is just not suitable for the long term. People must be moved into housing more quickly, both by processing asylum applications more speedily and by having a proper resettlement programme once people have got their status. Those things have to happen.
