<p>The consultation document on reforming support for failed asylum seekers published
on 4 August referred to the estimated 15,000 failed asylum seekers and their dependants
who were in receipt of support under section 95 or section 4 of the Immigration and
Asylum Act 1999 at 31 March 2015. It set out proposals for transitional arrangements
for these cases, under which that support would remain available, subject to the use
of existing powers under which it can be discontinued. A summary of the consultation
and the Government’s response to it will be published in due course.</p>
