Written question asked by Baroness Warsi (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord West of Spithead (Labour) on Thursday, 3 December 2009.
Immigration
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government how many illegal immigrants have been found working for the UK Border Agency in each of the last five years.
- Answer
-
In 2006, a total of nine contract cleaners, working in the then Immigration and Nationality Department of the Home Office, were found not to have valid leave to remain in the UK. Following that, the Home Office's procedures for checking its own employees were tightened and the Home Office worked with its contractors to ensure that they fulfilled their responsibilities for pre-employment checking of their employees. Since 2006 we know of only one other case (in 2008) where an employee of a contractor had invalid leave to remain.
