Local family over the moon as Minister says they can stay5.20.00pm GMT Fri 14th Dec 2007
A local family facing deportation have been told they can stay after a campaign by Andrew Stunell MP. The Hazel Grove mother was working at a home run by national care home group, Southern Cross. But her application for a renewal of her work permit was turned down last month by the Home Office because her pay rate was said to be too low for the job. However, after being challenged by Mr Stunell to recognise the value overseas care workers contribute to the care industry in the UK, the Home Office Minister, Liam Byrne, backed down. Commenting, Andrew Stunell, said: "This was a ridiculous situation that was terribly unfair on the hundreds of skilled staff from overseas and the care home residents who depend on them." "I'm delighted that the Minister finally came to his senses and made it possible for a happy end for so many. ENDS
