Exclusive: Refugee Council says Home Office practice is not to name hotels housing migrants after targeting by far-right groups

The House of Commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle has been urged to stop Conservative MPs from naming hotels which will house people seeking asylum after concerns that it could lead to attacks by extremists.
