Negotiations are ongoing regarding the conversion of two facilities - a facility in Scotland and the other in the English south - for accommodation for 900 men. The government leader has ordered Home Office and Defense Department officials to speed up work to find suitable defense facilities. The government has pledged to end the operation of temporary hotel accommodations, which have consumed billions in funds and turned into a primary concern for anti-asylum seeker rallies. Under Consideration Military Locations Asylum seekers could be accommodated in the Cameron military facility in the Scottish city and Crowborough army training camp in southeastern England by the end of next month. Commercial facilities, temporary accommodation and previously unused facilities are also being considered for possible utilization. Authorities Commitments Authoritative figures confirmed that each location would comply with safety regulations. "Our administration is extremely concerned at the extent of illegal migrants and temporary hotel accommodations." "This government will terminate every asylum hotel. Efforts are well underway, with better facilities being brought forward to alleviate strain on resident populations and reduce asylum costs." Present Accommodation Figures Approximately thirty-two thousand refugee applicants are currently being accommodated in temporary lodging, representing a reduction from a maximum of over 56,000 in last year. A current assessment found that billions of government revenue had been "squandered" on asylum accommodation. Earlier Military Site Utilization Two ex-armed forces locations - the Wethersfield facility in the eastern county and Napier Barracks in the southern county - are already being utilized to accommodate refugee applicants after being commissioned under the prior government. The government leader stated on the developments, saying: "I am committed to close every refugee hotel. Words cannot describe how frustrated and angry we are that we've been left with a mess as substantial as this by the previous administration."
