Another government minister, this time Anna McMorrin MP, wrongly claimed that Labour had halved the use of asylum hotels.
This is incorrect.
The total number of hotels in use has barely changed under Labour, and the number of asylum seekers in them has increased.

During a PMQs exchange last week with Labour MP Leigh Ingham about the treatment of armed forces personnel, deputy PM David Lammy said: “4,000 military homes, that’s nine out of every ten” are to be upgraded.
This was not correct. Following contact by Full Fact, Mr Lammy has now corrected the record.
