UK inquiry probes Tory ministers' handling of Manston migrant centre crisis

A UK inquiry is examining whether former Conservative ministers failed to manage the Manston migrant processing centre in Kent during the November 2022 small boats surge, when overcrowding led to serious welfare concerns. The hearing focuses on accountability for the chaotic conditions, with questions over ministerial oversight and decision-making. This is part of an ongoing political reckoning over UK asylum policy, but no new operational changes are announced.
