Labour is poised to revive plans to house migrants on ex-military bases less than a year after they were abandoned on cost grounds.
As Prime Minister Keir Starmer struggles to get a grip on the migrant crisis, defence minister Luke Pollard yesterday confirmed accommodation centres could be set up on MoD land.
He indicated it could include a previously scrapped scheme to accommodate migrants at the historic Dambusters base at RAF Scampton.
Under the previous Conservative government almost £50million was spent on plans to turn the Lincolnshire site into an asylum camp.
But Labour canned the project in September 2024 saying that it would not provide ‘value for money’.
