HC Deb 01 November 1990 vol 178 c755W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when his Department was notified by British Actors Equity Association that the BBC was employing Mr. Patrick Shai without a work permit; and what action was taken.

Mr. Forth

British Actors Equity Association wrote to my overseas labour section in this Department on 14 February 1990 saying that Mr. Patrick Shai was working. In accordance with standing instructions, this letter was forwarded on 21 February to the Home Office, which is responsible for investigating any possible breach of the Immigration Act.
