The Oxford Mail has reported on a £150 million Government funding commitment towards asylum seeker accommodation, with the proposed accommodation centre at MOD Bicester Site A mentioned in its coverage.
The article comes amid ongoing debate about the cost of asylum accommodation and the Government’s plans for larger accommodation facilities.
For Wrong Plan Wrong Site, the report highlights the importance of transparency around public spending. We continue to call for clear, independently scrutinised costings for the MOD Bicester Site A proposal and evidence that it represents value for taxpayers.
The £150 million commitment relates to wider asylum accommodation funding and should not be interpreted as money allocated specifically to Site A.
