New reports reveal that the UK has spent £6.5 million on a scheme offering financial incentives to encourage certain foreign national offenders to leave Britain. The programme has reignited fierce debate over immigration policy, public spending, and whether taxpayer money should be used in this way.

Former Cabinet Office Chief Economist Jonathan Portes argues the controversy is overblown, describing it as "a bit of a non-story" and suggesting that, if anything, the voluntary returns programme should be expanded. He explains why he believes the scheme can save money overall and reduce the costs associated with detention, legal proceedings, and deportation.

Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control, Rob Bates, strongly disagrees, branding the payments "morally repugnant" and arguing that foreign criminals should be removed from the UK without receiving financial incentives funded by taxpayers.
