London: Britain’s Labor government has announced important measures to end the backlog of asylum seekers.
The British government is making big plans to send refugees back to their countries of origin.
The Home Office has advertised for a contract to help commercial partners return people living illegally in the UK to their countries of origin.
The notice said the contractors would deliver food packets, locate household members, and provide assistance in finding employment, among other tasks.
The three-year deal, which was announced last week and is worth 150 million pounds, or $19.7 million, was published in the Financial Times last Thursday.
The advertisement states that the Home Ministry is taking steps to repatriate the refugees to 11 different countries.
These countries include Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Albania, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Jamaica, Nigeria, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.
This initiative aims to repatriate 14,000 people from the country by the end of this year.
Home Affairs Minister Evett Cooper said last week that the next six months would see the largest number of people who failed to obtain legal asylum in the past five years be sent back.
Official figures released last week showed that 119,000 people were awaiting a decision on their asylum applications by the end of June this year.
“The Government is planning to fully enforce immigration laws and will deport people who do not have a legal right to be in the UK.”
The spokesperson also says that ‘all prevailing laws in this regard will be respected and their implementation will be ensured.’
