Undercover ITV report also shows inadequate welfare checks at ex-military base run by firm of asylum camp billionaire Graham King

Asylum seekers accommodated at a controversial military base in East Sussex have been subjected to inadequate welfare checks, and torture survivors may have been placed there unlawfully, a new undercover documentary for ITV has revealed.

Mass accommodation sites are central to the government’s plan to end the use of hotels to house asylum seekers. For the documentary Inside The Asylum Camp, ITV’s undercover reporter got a job as a welfare officer at Crowborough and covertly filmed inside the former military training camp. The documentary claims that poor screening and welfare checks are having serious consequences for some of the asylum seekers.
