Asylum hotel firm hands back almost £14m in profits amid anger over service
UK asylum hotel firm Mears has to return £13.8m profits to the Home Office due to exceeding contract profit limits. Former residents complained of poor living conditions affecting disabled children's health. The company defends its practices, stating accommodations are regularly inspected. Despite conflicts, Mears aims to improve services for vulnerable asylum seekers.
