Cases of malnutrition among both children and adults have been confirmed in various different areas of England, including hotels in London and in the south-west. In some areas health professionals have started weighing children at the hotels who have become dangerously thin and in need of frequent monitoring.

All I can imagine is the police are overstretched and ignore it. Maybe there are other bodies that should deal with it? Do alum seekers have the same rights as members of the public stopping in the hotel under normal circumstances? I imagine that the government carefully didn't refer to them as hotels in the agreements drawn up to avoid legal issues.
