Collate the costs of our Refugee effort and charge it to the Overseas Aid Budget

Closed 260 signatures

What the petition asks

To collate all costs born within the borders of the United Kingdom relating to the Accommodation; Feeding; Clothing; Medical Care; Education: Translation and Judicial costs of refugees both legal and Illegal. The sum of these collated costs to be paid from the Overseas Aid Budget.
Currently, the costs relating to refugees are being born unfairly by local Councils and thus the Taxpayer. Similarly, the NHS and local social services are bearing additional costs due to translation and capacity issues. These refugees have left areas where we already allocate aid, their departure therefore reduces the local requirements, but increase costs in the United Kingdom.
