← council-level findings on this theme
10 Jul 2025Lancashire County Council's published minutes show no motion, resolution or formal executive position opposing asylum hotels / Home Office migrant accommodation; the only asylum-related record found is a written Cabinet response (10 July 2025) from Reform Cabinet Member for Resources Ged Mirfin naming 'procurement and asylum seeker and refugee support schemes' as one of the spending areas the incoming Reform administration was scrutinising for cost/savings as part of its 'DOGE process' review — a financial-scrutiny mention, not a stated objection to asylum accommodation or a call for hotel closures.
