Fury as Danish government to seize migrants' valuables after passing controversial bill

The Express reports:

The Danish government's controversial measure will pay for refugees to stay in asylum centres, according to officials.

Items of personal value such as wedding rings are exempt – but police now have the power to seize any other objects deemed as "valuable assets".

A government spokesman said: "The government, the Social Democrats, the Danish People's Party, the Liberal Alliance and the Conservative People's Party have agreed to amend the bill concerning valuables."

The motion is part of a bigger immigration bill the Danish parliament is due to begin debating today.
