MOVING asylum seekers into military barracks will be worth it, even if it costs more than using hotels, because it will help quell public discontent, Downing Street has suggested.

Barracks for migrants worth the cost - No 10

Crowborough Training Camp in East Sussex

The Prime Minister's official spokesman also rejected suggestions the Government had not moved swiftly enough to grasp the migrant crisis.

The Home Office confirmed on Monday that two barracks in Scotland and southern England would be used to house about 900 men temporarily.

Sir Keir Starmer said he wants to see asylum hotels closed "as quickly as possible" and is "bearing down on this every day of the week".

The plans will see men housed at Cameron Barracks in Inverness and Crowborough Training Camp in East Sussex.
