Cost-effectiveness of Home Office scheme to house people on vessel questioned after downsizing of plans
Questions have emerged over the cost-effectiveness of the Bibby Stockholm barge after the Home Office reduced the number of asylum seekers it plans to house on the vessel.
The floating accommodation for asylum seekers harboured in Portland port, Dorset, was initially supposed to house about 500 people, but the Home Office has reduced this to a maximum of 425.
