Court orders Braverman to increase financial support for asylum-seekers
Britain's Home Secretary Suella Braverman speaks in the House of Commons in London, Monday Dec. 19, 2022.
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
SUELLA BRAVERMAN has been ordered by a court to immediately increase financial support to asylum-seekers after the sum was ruled unlawful.
Asylum-seekers will now receive a weekly allowance of £45, up from £40.85 — an increase of 10.1 per cent.
The High Court ruled earlier this month that the Home Secretary had acted unlawfully by failing in her legal duty to provide for the basic needs of asylum-seekers.
