I will not name this one but there have been concerns it had been used to accommodate 111 individuals and a decision was taken to more than double capacity to 255. I have seen photographs of the internal layout of that accommodation. A ballroom has been utlised and bunk beds are stacked in. I do not know how it would meet any safety standards. I have concerns, particularly around fire safety. That premises does not appear to have had any inspections since the huge increase in density took place. Is there protocol around that?
