Migrant housing barge arrives in UK as controversial migration bill becomes law

A barge called the Bibby Stockholm, designed to house 500 asylum seekers, has arrived in England.
The barge's arrival coincides with the passage of a controversial migration bill aimed at deterring Channel crossings.
The new law makes arriving in Britain via irregular routes illegal in order to prevent asylum claims.
The government hopes using barges instead of hotels will ease pressure on the asylum system.
Some local opposition has been raised over concerns about the barge's impact on the town.
