Thirteen more migrant hotels are closing down, the Home Office said last night in its continued bid to reopen the sites to the public and save on the extortionate costs of keeping "asylum seekers" there.The 13 closures are expected to save taxpayers £51million - and bring the total number of migrant hotels below 160, the Home Office said.But the number of asylum seekers living in Britain is at its highest level ever.Most of them are kept far from the wealthier South East - home to less than seven per cent of all asylum seekers in the country.The North, Yorkshire, the Midlands, Wales and Northern Ireland account for 59.3 per cent of all Home Office asylum accommodation in the UK - with the North West accounting for nearly a fifth by itself.Today, every single council area in the North and Yorkshire is home to asylum seekers, while fifth of councils in the South East and South West have no asylum seekers at all.
