UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves says the UK will cut its backlog in asylum applications and end the costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers, saving £1 billion ($1.3 billion) annually. She told lawmakers while presenting her spending review to parliament that funding she has provided, including from the transformation fund, will cut the asylum backlog, hear more appeal cases and return people who have no right to be here, saving the taxpayer a billion pounds a year.
