Home Secretary Announces Asylum Cash Scheme

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced pilot offering up to £10,000 per person for failed asylum seekers, capped at £40,000 per family.
150 families expected to participate in the pilot.
Scheme could save £20 million in hotel bills, citing Denmark's 30,000 payments halving deportation waits.
Pilot includes free flights, prepaid cards, and deportation for those refusing.
Scheme saves money as housing and removal costs exceed cash offered.
Plans to increase cash incentives from £3,000 to £10,000 per person.
Withdrawal of funding and visa bans for four countries.
