Mistakes made after migrants left stranded in London, government admits
Mistakes were made after two groups of migrants were left stranded in London this week, the government has admitted.
Less than 24 hours afterwards, a second group of migrants was also taken to the capital without accommodation. The group slept rough on the streets until housing was provided, according to the local authority. Mr Philp told BBC Breakfast that there had been a "substantial effort" to reduce the number of people at Manston. The number has now fallen to 2,600, with 1,200 people taken off site in the last four days, No 10 said.
Westminster City Council's Labour leader Adam Hug said the "chaos" of the situation meant local services and charities were "having to pick up the slack". But Stephen Evans, chief executive of Norwich Council, has said the Home Office did not give its local officials any warning that the group would be arriving in the city. He said he first heard about it in a news article.
