Government claims asylum and immigration review benefits taxpayers

By Liz Fekete

1 December 1996

According to the Home Office, its present review of immigration and asylum procedure will lead to the saving of £100m of taxpayers' money over the next three years.

Home Office minister Timothy Kirkhope commented: 'We, as a society, cannot bear the burden of illegal immigrants who seek to obtain publicly funded services that they have no right to receive. Resources must be spent upon those who have a right to live here and who contribute to our society.'
