The Home Office is appealing for landlords to house asylum seekers after a record number of small-boat arrivals this month, according to reports.
Landlords have been offered five-year guaranteed full rent deals to house migrants by Serco, a private contractor working for the government office.
The number of migrants who arrived in Britain after crossing the English Channel reached a record for the first four months of the year. Eleven small boats carrying a total of 656 people arrived on April 12, taking the total number of people crossing in 2025 to 8,064, according to provisional Home Office figures.
I’m surprised they bothered to ask.
