Could Duncan Hunt (Opinion, February 2) please inform me as to when the new support system for asylum seekers, with regard to the policy of accommodation on a no-choice basis, was set in place?
I received correspondence from Brighton and Hove Council housing services on October 27 1998 stating that asylum seekers arriving here were eligible for assistance and thus were able to go on to the council housing register.
