The UK government is spending £2.2 billion on asylum hotels this year, similar to last year, to help people asking for safety.

Foreign aid should help poor people in other countries. But rules let the UK use some of it to help asylum seekers in their first year. About 32,000.
The government cut help to poor countries due to spending on asylum hotels. This means less support for fighting poverty and helping in emergencies.
The Home Office wants to save money by 2026. Some say using foreign aid for UK asylum hotels is wrong and breaks promises.
