UK Home Office cancels RAF Scampton base housing plan for asylum seekers due to cost-ineffectiveness.
The UK Home Office has cancelled plans to use the former RAF Scampton base in Lincolnshire for housing asylum seekers, citing a lack of cost-effectiveness. The total projected cost of the project had reached £122 million by 2027, with £60 million already spent. The government will instead focus on faster asylum processing and stricter immigration enforcement. This decision follows the abandonment of a previous Rwanda policy aimed at deterring migrants.
