So we always hear about the high volume of illegal immigrants across the UK but where are they all working, apparently more than 6,600 illegal immigrants have been cleared to seek security jobs in the UK.
More than 4,400 others were given permits to apply for work when it was unclear whether they had permission to be employed. The SIA was set up to vet applicants, especially looking into their past for any signs of criminal activity, the successful applicants are then allowed to work on pub and club doors as well sensitive security posts.
An investigation in April this year discovered 44 people working at a security company who did not have the right to work in the UK - 12 had been subcontracted to a company that provided staff to guard locations under Metropolitan Police contracts, a rather scarey finding!
Whilst others had been guarding Government vehicles including those of our prime minister!!
