Home office to share asylum hotel data with food delivery firms in bid to stop illegal working
The Ministry of Interior said that information about the shelter hotel positions will be shared with food distribution companies to address the suspicious hot points of illegal work.
A new agreement with Deliveoo, Just Eat and Uber EATS will see information about high -risk areas that are shared to help them reveal abuse on their platforms and suspend accounts quickly.
They have now discovered that delivery riders have shared their accounts with asylum seekers.
The latest measures hopes to reduce the application further.
Interior Minister Yette Cooper said: “illegal work weakens honest jobs, uses vulnerable individuals and fuels organized immigration crimes.
“By developing our data sharing with distribution companies, we take a decisive action to close the gaps and increase the implementation.
“Changes, change plan, more security measures and challenging new legislation resulted in an increase of 50% in raids and arrests for illegal work.”
The Ministry of Interior added that concert economy companies have increased their real -time identity and work controls, which led to the removal of thousands of workers from the platforms.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp claimed that he had found the evidence of illegal working people for food distribution companies during a hotel visit to host asylum seekers last month.
The asylum seekers in the UK are normally banned from work while their claims are being processed, but after a year of waiting, permission can be applied.
Delivery companies met with home office bosses at the beginning of this month to discuss the abuse concerns in the sector.
Three delivery companies said that they are completely determined to work with the home office and fight illegal work.
The ministers promised a blitz blitz across the country to target immigrants working illegally as part of their efforts to prevent people from coming from France to England.
Authorities hopes to combat the “pulling factors ç which attracted immigrants to England as well as the agreement fired by Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron at the beginning of this month to send some people reaching the UK on small boats to France.
After passing the British channel in 2025, more than 23,500 immigrants came to England.
