Asylum seekers have been forced to evacuate from the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset after traces of Legionella bacteria, which can cause Legionnaires disease, were found in the water supply.
Migrants have been forced to evacuate the Bibby Stockton barge after traces of Legionella bacteria were discovered on-board
Ministers have said they were concerned contractors were aware of the Legionalla outbreak as early as Monday, while Home Office officials have insisted they were not told of the hazard until further tests were made. The professor said when people take a shower, it can generate a mist of Legionella bacteria which can be breathed in, although the Home Office has said no one on board the Bibby became ill.
Senior Conservative MP David Davis said the Bibby Stockholm evacuation has revealed the ‘startling incompetence of the Home Office itself’.
