Closed Allow asylum seekers to work

Closed on

We want the Government to allow people seeking asylum in the UK to work, so they can contribute to the UK economy. Asylum seekers can be allowed to work temporarily until decisions are made.

Government in this times of uncertainty must use everything at its disposal to fix the economy and save money to invest in areas desperately needed.

If asylum seekers are allowed to work, employers can more easily fill vacancies in various labour shortages. Asylum seekers would also pay taxes from working. Allowing Asylum seekers work will save tax payer's money being used to support and accommodate them daily.
