首相在唐宁街新闻发布会上说:“我们所做的两件事情是为了筹集这笔资金。
“第一,我们将增加外来移民申请签证时所需支付的费用。
“此外,还有一个被称为移民健康附加费的征税,外来移民需要支付这一费用才能使用英国国民医疗服务系统。
“因此,所有这些费用将会上涨,这将筹集超过10亿英镑。”

The prime minister told a Downing Street press conference: “What we have done are two things to find this money.
“The first is we’re going to increase the charges that we have for migrants who are coming to this country when they apply for visas.
“And indeed, something called the immigration health surcharge, which is the levy that they pay to access the NHS.
“So all of those fees are going to go up and that will raise over a billion pounds.”
