​We call on the Government to extend the financial incentives currently offered to rejected asylum seeker families to British citizens. Any British family wishing to permanently emigrate from the UK should be eligible for a relocation grant of up to £40,000 (£10,000 per person, capped at four family members).

​The British public has seen successive governments struggle to manage the costs of the asylum system. The Home Office recently justified offering £40,000 to families to leave by stating that it saves the taxpayer £158,000 per year in housing and support costs.

​We believe it is fundamentally unfair that such significant financial support is unavailable to the very people who have funded the system through their taxes. British families are currently facing:

​Strained Public Services: Record waiting lists for the NHS and a critical shortage of housing.

​Cost of Living: Many families feel they can no longer afford a high quality of life in the UK.

​Economic Parity: If the Government can find the funds to pay non-citizens to leave, it can and should provide the same "exit route" for its own citizens.

​Economic Benefit: By assisting British families who wish to start a new life abroad, the Government would reduce the long-term burden on the NHS, the state pension fund, and the social housing sector. This is a common-sense approach that puts British citizens on equal footing with the incentives offered to others. The British people have had enough of being the last priority in their own country.
