Jenrick assured the house that from 8am on Monday morning, the number of migrants housed at Manston was below its capacity of 1,600. This comes after the Home Office was criticised for the unlawful conditions at the centre, which the government blames on overcrowding. Jenrick told MPs people in safe countries should not be travelling to the UK to claim asylum and it was necessary to hold some people at Manston for longer than usual. The minister said the Home Office was securing more bed space for the processing centre.
