Gavin Grey: Asylum seeker spending down, but not down enough
Manage episode 487595532 series 2098280
“It’s down, but it’s down not very much.” says UK Correspondent Gavin Grey in this morning’s immigration discussion with Ryan Bridge.
The UK Government is spending $4.4billion on hotel bills housing migrants. Although this is down from $4.6billion the previous year, Grey says it isn’t enough.
Money to fund this is coming from the overseas development fund, a system that Grey calls, “unsustainable.”
Arrests for immigrants working illegally in the UK have increased, but Grey says the hotel bill continues to get longer with no end in sight.
