Asylum seekers' red doors repainted after claims they are targeted

The front doors of houses used by asylum seekers are to be repainted, after claims they were targeted because nearly all of the doors were red.

Asylum seekers in Middlesbrough told The Times eggs and stones had been thrown at their houses because the doors made them easy to identify.

The immigration minister said he was "deeply concerned" about the issue.

G4S said there was no policy to house asylum seekers behind red doors but its subcontractor would be repainting them.
