Families of asylum seekers move into Hale hotel after MP deems housing 112 men ... trends now
Families of people seeking asylum in the United Kingdom will be accommodated in the Ashley Hotel in Hale, a Tory MP today confirmed.
Graham Brady, MP for Altrincham & Sale West, said: 'I am pleased to have received confirmation that at least 80% of the asylum seekers to be accommodated in the Ashley Hotel will be families.
'I am relieved that this much improved outcome has been achieved.'
The Cheshire MP previously spoke out against the proposal to lodge 112 male asylum seekers who arrived from France in the Ashley Hotel in Hale, describing it as 'obviously inappropriate'.
Hale is a suburb of Trafford in Greater Manchester and is home to many of Britain's best-paid footballers and their partners.

Earlier today, The Daily Mail reported how ministers were drawing up plans to block Channel migrants from lodging legal challenges against deportation.
Under current law, all people seeking asylum have the right to remain in Britain to have their cases heard, which Sunak would challenge.
If Britain's deal to deport migrants to Rwanda were to be ruled legal by senior judges later this year, it could allow asylum seekers to keep the right to lodge appeals over their status from Rwanda once they had already left the United Kingdom.
In 2017, the Supreme Court held that out-of-country appeals may be unlawful when appellants could not effectively appeal from outside the UK due to difficulties securing legal representation or giving evidence.
'Deport first, appeal later' policies were found by the Supreme Court to be in breach of Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which protects a person's right to respect for their private and family life.
1996 legislation sets out how asylum applicants from 'safe third countries' can only appeal from abroad against the Home Office's decision to refuse their case.
A wide expansion of the principle is likely to be opposed by the House of Lords, judges and from human rights lawyers, as it would cover all people who arrive by 'small boat', even if their home nation is not considered safe.
