MINISTERS have been accused of doing nothing to find almost 80 child asylum-seekers who have disappeared from a Home Office hotel in Brighton.
Hove Labour MP Peter Kyle told the Commons today that “nothing is happening” to locate the 76 children reported missing from a single hotel in his constituency, despite fears they might have been abducted by traffickers.
A whistleblower at Home Office contractor Mitie told the Observer on Sunday that he had seen children taken outside the hotel by criminal gangs and bundled into cars.
