Almost 10,000 migrants have crossed the Channel this year (Image: Getty)
The scale of Labour’s plan to pay more landlords to house Channel migrants has been revealed by a new map. Asylum accommodation provider Serco wants more landlords, investors and agents with properties in the North-west, the Midlands and the East of England to lease for more than five years.
Serco told potential landlords it already has more than 30,000 asylum seekers in an “ever-growing” portfolio of more than 7,000 properties. And Serco has admitted it is trying to expand its asylum accommodation portfolio. It comes as nearly 10,000 migrants have crossed the Channel so far this year.

Home Office figures show 9,638 people have arrived so far this year in 173 boats.
But this does not include Sunday’s arrivals – or Monday’s.
It means Labour is likely to suffer the humiliating blow of the total number of Channel crossings passing 10,000 on Monday.

On Sunday, three Border Force vessels filled with passengers arrived at the processing centre on the Western Docks former Jet Foil terminal in Dover, Kent.
Border Force boats Hurricane, Defender and Ranger brought people intercepted from flimsy dinghies to the port.
Further migrants were rescued and taken back to France by French authorities on Sunday, after they requested help.
One passenger on a vessel that departed the French coast near Calais requested assistance from the crew of the PSP Cormoran after suffering a medical episode, according to official reports.
The person was safely evacuated, but the rest of the people on board refused help and continued their journey to the UK.
Later, the rest of the people on board were rescued, with 19 people dropped off at the port of Calais and taken care of by the authorities on land.
Then, a boat in distress was discovered north of Calais, with 29 people helped to safety by French search and rescue teams before being taken to the port of Boulogne-sur-mer.
The crisis is heaping fresh pressure on the UK’s creaking housing sector.
One council leader told LBC: “It’s Serco who are encouraging landlords to exploit taxpayers, then it’s blamed on councils because of the impact it has on local rents, services and social cohesion.
“I don’t think it’s good for the fabric of society or the individuals involved."
Putting an asylum seeker in a house, bedsit or flat costs as little as ￡14 a night, the National Audit Office said.
This compares to ￡145 a night in a hotel room.
Labour has expanded the use of landlords so that it can move migrants out of hotels.
More than 38,000 migrants are staying in hotel rooms, costing ￡5.5million a day. A further 65,707 are in other forms of accommodation.
The Serco list, broken down into three regions, revealed the list of towns and areas where asylum seekers could be housed as the Government scrambles to end the use of hotels.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “The list of local authorities Serco shared on its website for landlords is not a Home Office list, nor is it a list of any existing or future asylum accommodation.
“Serco is one of several companies contracted by the previous government six years ago to provide dispersal asylum accommodation in different regions and this list simply appears to reflect the geographical list of local authorities covered by the Serco contracts at that time.

“We are restoring order to the asylum system and cutting costs to taxpayers by reducing the number of people we are required to accommodate through a rapid increase in asylum decision-making and the removal of more than 24,000 people with no right to be in the UK.”
A Serco spokesman added: “The list of councils on our website reflects local authority areas covered by our Asylum Accommodation and Support Services contract, which we have had for six years with the Home Office.
"This does not indicate the Government will be opening new accommodation in these areas.”
