LONDON: Families of failed asylum-seekers will be offered up to £40,000 (approximately Rs 49 lakh) to leave the UK under a trial scheme announced by home secretary Shabana Mahmood, who is of PoK origin.
Mahmood, who unveiled the scheme during her address at an event organised by a think-tank, said failed asylum-seekers would be offered £10,000 (Rs 12 lakh) each to leave the country voluntarily, capped at £40,000 per family. If they refuse, they would be forcibly removed and children will not be exempt, she said.
