Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on which date will the Enhanced Voluntary Returns offer pilot end.

This pilot is about fairness and control. The scheme is designed to get families out of costly hotels faster, remove incentives to delay, and save taxpayers money. We will see if it works and scale if it does.

We expect people to take the offer and leave the country voluntarily but, where they do not, Immigration Enforcement will seek to enforce their departure

The offer is directed at failed asylum seeker families with no right to stay, who are currently being housed at public expense. It is not targeted at particular nationalities.
