Migrants who cross the Channel in small boats could be moved to warehouses as Labour scrambles to close asylum hotels, the Home Secretary suggested today.
Yvette Cooper said the Government was looking at 'military and industrial sites' as 'more appropriate' places to house asylum seekers.
She added that warehouses were 'one of the things that's been looked at' in her attempts to cut the bill to taxpayers from housing small boat arrivals in hotels.
It came ahead of Sir Keir Starmer holding an emergency meeting this afternoon on Government action to go 'further and faster' in tackling Channel migrant crossings.
Ahead of the meeting, Downing Street said ministers would hold talks on 'better forms of accommodation' as they look to speed up the closure of asylum hotels.
The PM's official spokesman said the Government was looking at 'all viable options' for housing migrants, following recent protests outside asylum hotels across Britain.
He said this included 'using modular buildings on industrial sites [and] ex-military sites', adding that 'modular buildings' were those that could be 'scaled up at pace'.
No10 also said the Government 'fully' expects migrants to be returned across the Channel this month as a result of Sir Keir's 'one in, one out' deal with France.
Ms Cooper had earlier failed to guarantee that Channel migrants will definitely start being deported this month under the UK-France agreement.

The Brits are protesting against the government to turn the channel on “channel migrants”.
quick
make it look like we are doing something
Uh, dealing with “small boats”. Hard to believe just how far England / Great Britain has fallen when they don’t even remember how to do this simple thing.
The solution is: Navy
Patrol boats, destroyers, turn them back, otherwise they are swamped and let Davy’s Locker sort it out.
This is what San Francisco did for decades.
The shell game for them is now over.
Their last place to hide them was using Global Warming tax which is now dead.
Warehouses? Don’t the Brits have glue rendering facilities any more?
What really doomed the British state was their determination to lie to the British people about the social impact of their stupid/evil decision to thin the blood.
And to make all discussion of it a crime.
When Labour is struggling this much to come up with a solution, you know the reason is they can’t find a way to allow the boats to continue but convince the public they are stopping them.
It’s like the Republican and Democratic Idiots who said nothing could be done about the Southern Border unless we get comprehensive immigration reform, when Trump comes in and immediately shuts down the border using existing laws.
The British still have a Navy, use it, there is an invasion going on.
I don’t know why any western nation provides any housing to these invaders.
I think answer is somewhat obvious, it’s about obtaining and keeping political power to transform these countries into central planning type of government, call it socialism, communism, whatever you want.
When you accept that modern liberalism is anti-western society and are actively working in that direction, it’s not hard to understand their motives.
Now they lease their sub missiles from Lockheed, and can't intercept a rowboat.
Unless the warehouses are fenced in, the invaders won’t stay in them
I say, ship them to the Falklands and then hope Argentina seizes the islands.
How about summarily sending them home.
“tackling small boats”
Tackle? The word is sink.
The former mightiest navy the world had ever seen to a nation conquered by a bunch of illiterate Muslims turds floating on rubber rafts in 3 generations thanks to liberals.
