Employers of illegal staff to be named and shamed

Businesses employing illegal workers are being named and shamed by the Border and Immigration Agency for Wales and the South West.

The Government body said the regional focus meant dishonest employers would have nowhere to hide.

The body is headed by director Jane Farleigh, who is responsible for managing immigration across Wales and seven English counties.

She said:

"We are working to introduce by early 2008 a new points-based system for foreign nationals who want to come to the UK to work.

"Our teams are already visiting hundreds of employers to explain these changes and we have already received positive feedback from many local businesses over the support we have offered them."
