Asylum seekers in the UK will be made to pay up to £10,000 towards the cost of their accommodation once they start earning. [Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe] Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said they must pay off the full amount before they can be eligible for settled status. Eligible adults will likely pay off an amount each month above a set threshold, similar to a student loan.
