UK top for asylum kids

MORE unaccompanied children seeking asylum arrived in Britain last year than in any other European Union country, a new report claims.

A fifth of all young people seeking asylum in the bloc did so in Britain.

The number of unaccompanied children seeking asylum rose by 19 per cent last year to 3650, a report from the European Asylum Support Office says.

Young people from Eritrea accounted for the biggest proportion on 584.
