Fact check: Government committed to using hotels for asylum claimants for now

The Government, therefore, is not seeking to cease immediately the use of hotels for the housing of asylum seekers, despite a Labour manifesto commitment to ending this policy. It is also important to note that, despite the use of both terms in the original TikTok, refugees are distinct from asylum seekers as they have had their claim of asylum approved. Those housed in hotels are awaiting a decision.
