East Ayrshire Council has hit back at UK Government minister’s claims that it has taken in ZERO asylum seekers.
Minister for Immigration, Robert Jenrick MP, had responded to a question from an SNP MP in the House of Commons by claiming no asylum seekers had been rehomed in SNP-led authorities, including East Ayrshire and North Ayrshire Council.
But East Ayrshire Council has hit back, pointing out that the council plays no part in deciding where asylum seekers coming through the UK’s supported asylum scheme are rehomed.
