answer text <p>The Home Office will always look to support those who wish to depart the United Kingdom voluntarily, and the extent of that support is based on a case-by-case assessment of an individual’s needs. General eligibility criteria can be found online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/return-home-voluntarily/who" target="_blank">Get help to return home if you’re a migrant in the UK: Who can get help - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p>The Home Office publishes statistics on all types of removals from the UK, which include voluntary departures. The latest statistics are available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release" target="_blank">Immigration system statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>. Published datasets for voluntary returns are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/returns-and-detention-datasets" target="_blank">Returns and detention datasets - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p>The cost of a voluntary return depends on the individual circumstances of the case, and therefore we are not able to provide a definitive figure.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is aware of the report. The vast majority of service users have now received and activated their new Aspen card since the service went live on Monday 24th May 2021.</p><p>These cards are working and being used successfully to make purchases or withdraw funds (dependent on asylum seeker support type). Where replacement cards have been requested, they are being actioned swiftly and are being dispatched to service users accordingly. Card activation rates continue to increase. We are proactively working with partners to ensure that any eligible service users receive their new Aspen card and activate it successfully. In the interim, Emergency Cash Payments (ECPs) are being provided to support their critical needs.</p><p>There are no plans to publish the department’s Lessons learned review.</p> more like this
