A UK Home Office contractor
has apologized for the "clearly inappropriate" decision to hire a
stretch limo to ferry a party of asylum seekers from London to Manchester. SERCO said the move had
not cost the taxpayer any extra money and that it was a one-off, and that new
procedures had been introduced to prevent happening again.
The
group of seven Africans was taken in a 16-seat Hummer from the hotel where they
were staying while their claims were processed to their new homes, the Daily
Mail reported.
