Soft-touch Britain, the asylum seeker capital of Europe: We let in
more than anyone else last year
Britain granted asylum to more people than any other European Union
country last year, official figures revealed yesterday.
Some 14,360 immigrants were given asylum within the UK in 2011,
compared with 13,045 in the second highest country, Germany, and
10,740 in third placed France.
The figure was the third successive rise in successful claims in the
UK and an increase of 41 per cent since 2008.
