Budd finds Blunkett office link to visa
An official inquiry into claims that David Blunkett misused his public position to help his former lover today concluded that there was “a chain of events” linking him to the speeding up of her nanny’s application for leave to remain in Britain.
Former British treasury adviser Sir Alan Budd, in his report into the claims, said the application was processed in 52 days – 120 days quicker than average.
