Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has already announced she is scrapping the use of the Bibby Stockholm barge, in Portland, Dorset, as migrant accommodation
Both RAF Wethersfield and RAF Scampton were among sites identified for housing hundreds of asylum seekers each under the previous Tory government.
It formed part of former prime minister Rishi Sunak's efforts to reduce the cost of housing migrants in hotels.
But Labour is seeking to 'massively increase' the procurement of 'dispersed accommodation' amid concerns about the pressures placed on local services by large-scale sites.
According to The Times, this will include empty homes or former student blocks that have self-catering facilities.
RAF Wethersfield, in Essex, began accommodating asylum seekers in July last year and was set to house a maximum of 800 people.
A court was last month told how asylum seekers at the 'prison-like' former RAF base experienced scabies outbreaks.
Comment: It's not clear how 'scattering' those suffering diseases, around the country, is a positive development.
Four ex-residents have taken legal action against the Home Office and claimed they were unlawfully housed at the site.
RAF Scampton, in Lincolnshire, was also set to house a maximum of 800 people, reduced from 2,000, but plans to move in migrants have been left in limbo.
Prior to the general election, Sir Keir Starmer vowed Labour would act 'straight away' to begin the site's closure if it won power.
The PM's new Government has already announced it is scrapping the use of the Bibby Stockholm barge, in Portland, Dorset, as migrant accommodation.
Earlier this year, the National Audit Office found the Tories' plans to use alternative large-scale sites to house asylum seekers would actually cost more than keeping them in hotels.
It is reported that councils have been asked to agree to asylum accommodation plans between local authorities and central government, which would set targets to increase dispersed accommodation.
A source told the newspaper: 'It's all about having a more equitable dispersal of asylum seekers.
'Otherwise you have these areas that have concentrated numbers and that is what we got in areas with hotels and large sites.
'That creates a whole host of challenges, meaning services in those areas are then stretched and those asylum seekers can't get the basic or crucial support they need.'
Comment: Isn't it easier to keep track of, and assist, migrants, the majority of whom need the same services? If the services are overwhelmed, why not provide more funding? UK has lost track of 17,000 unregistered migrants
Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, said: 'The Government has inherited an expensive and dysfunctional accommodation system which provides poor value for the taxpayer and has too often led to people who are later recognised as refugees being placed in isolated areas with little support and without any prior warning to councils.
'There should be an urgent review carried out by Government to move to a new arrangement of partnerships led by local authorities to deliver asylum accommodation that is better value for money and helps refugees integrate into local communities.'
From the people's point of view, right. From the pathocrat's point of view, it saves their butts.
