Lancashire County Council does not hold figures for "illegal immigrants"
employed the department in which they were employed or who reported them.

Similarly we have no records on the need to "correct" anything caused by
them.

Our recruitment practises are designed to ensure that LCC only employees
people who are legally entitled to work in the UK.  All new employees must
have pre-employment checks completed by managers, including proof of the
right to work in the UK. This means that an individual must provide an
original document such as a passport, birth certificate, work permit/visa
or similar in conjunction with supporting documents before starting work
for LCC.

further queries please contact me.
