Britain will unveil immigration reforms on Monday that include cutting financial support for asylum seekers deemed fit to work, as the Labour government adopts Denmark's model of temporary asylum in response to mounting political pressure.
The Home Office said aid will become "discretionary" under the new reforms, allowing authorities to deny support to those capable of working. UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will provide full details of measures designed to deter illegal arrivals and speed up repatriations.
