There are 17 local authorities with no taxpayer-supported asylum seekers, an analysis by the Daily Mail reveals after Andy Burnham vowed to send more to middle-class areas.The Prime Minister vowed yesterday to ensure arrivals are not only placed in the 'poorest communities' when pressed about proposals for a migrant camp near the tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington.'All parts of the country need to play their part,' he said – prompting the Tories to accuse him of wanting to 'dish out another vindictive punishment beating to the UK's middle classes'. Asylum seekers who are waiting for a decision on their asylum claim are often eligible for accommodation and money to cover their living expenses. This is provided by the Home Office, although the migrants themselves are dispersed across the country.Home Office figures showing the number of supported asylum seekers per local authority at the end of March reveal the areas with none are overwhelmingly rural beauty spots such as the Cotswolds, Derbyshire Dales, Malvern Hills, the New Forest and the Scottish Highlands.Others include Mid Devon, East Hertfordshire, Ceredigion, a scenic county in west Wales, and Hart, a 118-square-mile local authority taking in major towns, rural parishes and villages in Hampshire.The Gloucestershire market town of Tewkesbury is also on the list, as are the Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands, Mid and East Antrim and Mid Ulster, and Na h-Eileanan Siar – an island chain off the west coast of Scotland. It comes as Labour's borders minister doubled down on Mr Burnham's insistence that wealthier areas will have to take more migrants after the number of crossings under his premiership passed the 3,000 mark.
