Summary
The letter argues that instead of cracking down on asylum seekers working illegally, the UK government should allow them to work legally. A study by the Commission on the Integration of Refugees found that measures such as providing free English lessons, involving local communities in resettlement, and permitting asylum seekers to work after six months could bring a net economic gain of £1.2 billion over five years. While Home Secretary Yvette Cooper views job availability as a “pull factor,” the proposal would simply align the UK with most European countries, many of which already allow asylum seekers to work within six months or less.
