THE COUNCIL has confirmed that it has not employed a single illegal immigrant in the past five years.
As a result of a Freedom of Information request (FOI) submitted by a resident, Bracknell can be rest assured there have been no illegal immigrants on the council's books since 2012.
The request asked: "How many illegal immigrants have you employed since 2012? If any, please break down the number by years i.e. 2012, 2013, 2014 and so on.
"For clarification by employed I mean anyone paid to work on a full-time, part-time, freelance, staff, sub-contractor or consultant basis.
"Of these people, if any, please provide where possible the following:
1. Nationality
2. Position held/work employed to do
3. Length of employment."
The response from the council was simple, stating: "Zero."
