WITH members of Parliament demob-happy in readiness of recess this week, a discriminatory hike in fees affecting migrant workers and students is announced by the Home Office.
It is scandalous from the Home Office which, according to the Times, reportedly made a half a billion pounds’ profit in 2019. This was an increase of 91 per cent since 2014.
At the time leading newspapers exposed the “rampant profiteering” from immigration fees. The Independent quoted the Dean of Durham Law School Tom Brooks, who stated: “The Home Office already makes a hefty profit of 900 per cent on the processing of immigration fees. Not only are migrants paying the full costs for the delivery of immigration services, a large share of what is charged goes to non-immigration purposes.”
