The UK has paid migrants £53 million to leave the country over the past four years, The Independent can reveal.
Under a voluntary return scheme run by the government, migrants can receive up to £3,000 as an incentive to return to their home country, as part of what are known as “assisted returns”. They also have their flights paid for as part of the deal.
