Asylum: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how is the value of the financial sum added weekly to an Aspen card calculated.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The level of the allowance given to those supported under section 95 and section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 is reviewed each year to ensure it covers an asylum seekers’ essential living needs. Details of what is considered essential, can be found in the annual asylum support rate review reports, published on GOV.UK.
