"I haven't alighted on the full sums involved yet, but I am willing to consider a big increase on what we currently pay. I know it sticks in the craw of many people and they don't like it, but it is value for money, it does work, and a voluntary return is often the very best way to get people to return to their home country as quickly as possible."
"If mainstream politics cannot have a discussion about secure borders and the rules by which people enter this country and the rules by which they must leave, if we cede that territory to the far-Right, if we show that we are either unable, unwilling, or simply don't have the capacity to even think about the issue properly, and we cede it all to the far-Right, then we have let our country down."
The Home Secretary is considering higher payments to migrants who voluntarily return to their home countries, proposing a pilot programme offering larger sums to test behavioural impact. The current voluntary return payment is up to £3,000 for those without right to remain. The proposal frames increased payments as cost-effective, claiming voluntary return is often the fastest way to repatriate people. The plan forms part of wider asylum and settled-status proposals to manage the migrant situation. A far-right activist praised the move on social media, a response that the Home Secretary rejected while emphasizing patriotic commitment to secure borders.
