The government has promised to “carefully consider” a High Court decision to remove all asylum seekers from a hotel in Epping. Treasury Minister Torsten Bell said, “we inherited a completely broken asylum system…and we are working with those communities to make sure we close all asylum hotels over the course of this parliament”.

00:00Well, we'll carefully consider the court's judgment, but we inherited a completely broken asylum system, a disgraceful situation.
00:07Under the Conservatives, we had up to 400 asylum hotels.
00:11We brought those numbers down and we're working closely with communities to make sure we close all asylum hotels over the course of this parliament.
