It was championed by right-wing politicians and was broadly criticized (nationally as well as internationally).
The principle followed the process for social benefits; an applicant with savings of a certain value is not elegible to receive unemployment benefits from the state - the savings are expected to cover personal costs until they run out.

"A Home Office source. . .. 'We will not seize items of jewellery at the border – we aren’t coming after anyone’s sentimental items of jewellery. But where people have a large number of high-value items, we would expect them to contribute to the cost of their accommodation,' the source said."
