Lord Deedes: asked Her Majesty's Government: What considerations led to the establishment of an asylum centre for 350 people with 200 staff in the village of Aldington.
Lord Deedes: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. I declare an interest as I live in the village. Does it make sense to impose on a village with a population of less than 1,000 a total of some 550 people in what has been a prison? What kind of traffic problems will arise? What harm is there in using the ample barrack space that exists in the county?
