Cost of benefits given to refugees as a result of not allowing them to work
Dear Home Office,
I am writing to ask whether the Home Office can provide a summary of the total cost of all living allowances given to refugees awaiting a decision on their asylum claims since 7 May 2010. If it is not possible to estimate from this date, can you provide a breakdown of the cost of living allowances for each year available, starting in 2010 and ending in the most recent year where data is available?
Yours faithfully,
John Lubbock

Dear Home Office,
Thank you for seeking further clarification on this request. To answer your questions, yes, I am seeking to obtain a breakdown of the value of benefits that are given to people awaiting decisions on their asylum applications since 2010. If this can be broken down into cash support and accommodation costs, that would also be useful, though if you are only able to specify the total cost of allowances and accommodation which is spent supporting asylum claimants, a total figure would be fine.
Yours faithfully,
John Lubbock
