THE Tory government is facing calls to scrap a policy that excludes people subject to immigration controls from accessing certain welfare support payments.
The SNP’s home affairs spokesperson has demanded the UK Government ditch their “callous” no recourse to public funds (NRPF) policy, which, according to the party, keeps people in poverty.
The policy excludes people who are subject to immigration control from accessing welfare support including Universal Credit and housing assistance – and leaves asylum seekers relying on a £6 a day payment.
