The UK will stop using hotels for asylum seekers by 2029 to save money and build new places for them to live.

The government will spend more to speed up asylum cases and send back those who can't stay. This will help save money by 2028-29.
The Home Office says hotels are only used when other housing is not available. Since 2020, more hotels have been used because of housing shortages.
People worry about where asylum seekers will stay if not in hotels. This may affect plans like improving policing and cutting immigration.
