Home Office to share asylum hotel locations with food delivery firms ...Middle East

News by : (inews) -

An agreement with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats will see information about high-risk areas shared to help them uncover abuse on their platforms and quickly suspend accounts.

The changes meant delivery riders discovered to be sharing their accounts with asylum seekers have their profiles suspended.

The Home Office said greater scrutiny of identity and right to work checks has led to thousands of workers being taken off the platforms.

Last month shadow home secretary Chris Philp claimed to have found evidence of people working illegally for the food delivery firms during a visit to a hotel used to house asylum seekers.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “By enhancing our data sharing with delivery companies, we are taking decisive action to close loopholes and increase enforcement.

The three delivery companies said they were fully committed to working with the Home Office and combatting illegal working.

Officials hope to tackle the “pull factors” attracting migrants to the UK alongside the deal struck by Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this month to send some people who reach England in small boats back to France.
