# Shocking migrant figures show Labour to spend £1.4bn more on asylum accommodation
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed intentions to reduce national expenditure; however, official reports indicate that costs will balloon significantly. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has revealed that the anticipated expenditure for asylum accommodation will soar to an alarming £15.3 billion over the next decade—an increase from the Home Office's previous estimation of £4.5 billion.
Recent forecasts suggest that the tax-to-GDP ratio will reach a troubling post-war high of 38.3 percent by 2030-31. This increase is largely attributed to policy decisions taken during the current Budget and prior years.
These figures represent a significant financial burden on the state as the demand for asylum accommodation continues to escalate. Despite assurances from the Chancellor regarding fiscal responsibility, the reality indicates a dramatic jump in anticipated spending, raising concerns about the long-term implications for UK taxpayers and the economy.
