[PUBLIC SAFETY SECURITY COMPROMISE] DUE DILIGENCE, WHITE COLLAR CRIME IS ON THE INCREASE: IMPUNITY OF A SIERRA LEONEAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT BEATS IMAGINATIONS IN SECURING JOB AT BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS USING FALSE DOCUMENT........! QUOTE An illegal immigrant has been arrested after allegedly using a forged passport to get a job at the House of Commons. The woman, believed to be from Sierra Leone, had been working in the Palace of Westminster for two months as a casual member of the catering team when the discovery was made. The employee, who had been supplied by an external recruitment agency, was arrested on Friday over the alleged security breach. It is believed the agency was responsible for carrying out the background checks on the employee. A spokesman for the Commons confirmed the arrest, saying: A worker for an agency contracted by the House of Commons was arrested by the Metropolitan Police on Friday, January 2. We cannot comment on ongoing police investigations. The incident will raise serious questions about Parliaments security system. Keith Vaz, chairman of the home affairs select committee, said there needed to be a proper inquiry about how it happened, while Mark Field, a Tory member of the intelligence and security committee, said it was a pretty depressing discovery.
