Illegal migrants living in taxpayer funded hotels are being handed free condoms by the National Health Service, the Daily Express can reveal. The news comes just days after it was this paper exposed the home office was teaching migrants not rape women.
Now it has emerged that contraceptives are sent to hotels housing immigrants at no cost to them by local health authorities. NHS England confirmed that they provided free condoms to all asylum seekers living on the taxpayers coin as part of their usual services. But critics rounded on the policy with campaigners calling it a ridiculous waste of money and urging the government to stop it.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said fumed that British taxpayers were “funding contraception for illegal immigrants while British people can’t even get a dentist appointment.”
He added: “More than 93,000 people are now being housed at the taxpayer’s expense, and the number crammed into dispersal accommodation has climbed by 12 per cent under Labour. Illegal immigrants should be deported.
“The next Conservative government would deport every illegal immigrant, leaving the ECHR and any other obligation that stands in the way in order to get it done, because the surest way to empty the accommodation is to make plain that nobody who crosses the Channel gets to stay.”
Tax campaigners also rounded on the revelation with John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, saying: “Brits are paying billions for processing, accommodation and freebies provided to foreign criminals who have broken into our country.
“There should be no taxpayer-funded perks for those who break the law and bypass our borders.”
Last week an investigation by this paper exposed that the British government is having to tell asylum seekers that “men and women are equal” in this country.
Leaflets handed to illegals also stated that it was not legal to rape women, beat them, or have sex with children.
Conservative Assembly Member Susan Hall, who has protested against the housing of migrants in hotels, said: “Taxpayers will not understand why they are funding such a ridiculous waste of money at a time when our NHS is already under pressure.”
“Measures like this reveal how the costs of housing asylum seekers in hotels adds up to eyewatering amounts, and how utterly inappropriate our current asylum system is.
“People will be outraged at this ludicrous waste of money, and I do not see why sexual health provisions for asylum seekers must come at taxpayers’ expense.”
An NHS spokesperson said: “The NHS provides contraception services for free to all, which includes asylum seekers, through sexual health clinics, most pharmacies, and some GP practices.
“The NHS is legally obliged to offer healthcare services to asylum seekers.”
