LANDLORDS will be attending another meeting for details on renting properties to asylum seekers.

They have been approached by letting companies given contracts by the Home Office to find accommodation for asylum seekers across the country.

Around 50 landlords attended a first meeting held at a Bolton hotel to explain details.

Council chiefs now fear they could lose control of the number of asylum seekers coming into the town.

The Greater Manchester-based Residential Landlords Association wants to explain the major letting opportunity for residential property investors.

The date and time of the meeting have not been revealed, but anyone interested should ring 0845 666 5000.

Government plans to disperse asylum seekers across the country came under fresh attack today. With 85 per cent of asylum seekers concentrated in the South-east, officials want to move asylum seekers to other areas.

The Audit Commission has warned they will return to the capital unless more is done to prepare local communities.

Shadow home office minister David Lidington said the report was a "damning indictment of the Government's record."
