(BBC) Suella Braverman failed to sign off on measures which could have eased pressure at a migrant processing centre, sources have told the BBC.
The home secretary was warned by officials the government was acting outside the law by failing to provide alternative accommodation.
Sources claim there was significant concern within the Home Office about the situation at the Manston centre.
The Home Office rejected claims that the advice was “deliberately ignored.”
Ms Braverman is making a statement in the Commons on asylum processing centres.
