Do France and Germany supply free phones and driving lessons?
Why ask that? The UK Gov does not do that.
Some asylum seekers do indeed get bikes and driving lessons. That does not mean that the UK gov and the UK tax payer are providing that.
It is costing you nothing.
It is taking money from nowhere else in the UK Gov budget.
And to repeat this pint again…Asylum seeker support comes from the UK Overseas Aid budget.
It comes from a lump of money set aside every year for foreign aid. If it was given to UK companies for accommodation and services it would go to foreign companies and countries.
Again it costs you no extra.
EDIT to add and Germany does actully provide training even to failed asylum seekers!https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/11841/working-in-germany-what-is-the-3+2-regulation#:~:text=The%203%2B2%20regulation%20allows%20asylum%20seekers%20to%20stay,rejected.%20Here's%20a%20look%20at%20how%20it%20works.
