This excerpt appears to be from a BBC news report concerning a controversy around plans to move asylum seekers into a residential building called Parliament Place in Liverpool, UK. Here are the key points summarized:
– Andrew Lewis, a tenant at Parliament Place, received a letter telling tenants to move out due to urgent fire safety works. This letter caused fear and panic among tenants who did not want to be evicted.
– Lewis and other tenants were not aware that these notices were linked to plans to move asylum seekers into the building. The tenants only discovered later that their leases would be terminated.
– The buy-to-let landlords of some flats were approached by an agent of Schloss Roxburghe Holdings (SRH), the company involved in the asylum accommodation deal. The landlords were offered a guaranteed monthly payment per flat, with a draft contract proposed but not signed.
– The plans to use Parliament Place were linked to relocation of asylum seekers originally housed at the Seel Street Hotel (now the Ropewalks Hotel), which was considered unsuitable due to its location in the nightlife district.
– Liverpool City Council conducted informal visits checking suitability but said it never advised tenants to move out.
– SRH eventually shelved the asylum seeker plan, reportedly because disruption to tenants was too great. Tenants did not have to leave, and the alleged fire safety works reportedly never occurred.
– Schloss Roxburghe Holdings was set up in 2018 in the Isle of Man. Dr Faisal Maassarani, named as a director or linked individual, denies financial benefit or involvement in day-to-day operations, and says this involvement is not in the public interest.
– The foundation owning SRH was created to fund education and training for Maassarani’s family. The agent promoting the asylum seeker deal signed correspondence as “Mike”.
