Nicola Sturgeon slams Serco for 'inhumane' evictions
Conrad Landin at Holyrood

Serco, which provides housing arrangements to around 300 people in Glasgow, first announced last July that it was issuing eviction notices to tenants whose asylum applications were unsuccessful.

A judge dismissed a legal challenge from two tenants but the policy was paused after public outcry and warnings of direct action to resist eviction attempts.
