Asylum seekers in the UK will be banned from taking taxis for medical appointments | BBC News
It comes after a BBC investigation found some people had travelled long distances by ...taxis or minicabs, with one asylum seeker saying they went on a 250-mile cab journey to a GP, costing the Home Office £600.
In response, the government launched an urgent review into the use and cost of taxis to transfer asylum seekers from their hotels to appointments in September.
Now the government has confirmed it has spent an average of around £15.8 million per year on transport for asylum seekers.
