Chris Huhne
Liberal Democrat MP for Eastleigh
No excuse for SIA rewarding failure
Commenting on the announcement that the Security Industry Authority (SIA), a Home Office body, paid out £50,000 in bonuses to its top managers despite the organisation clearing more than 7,000 illegal immigrants for sensitive security jobs, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:
“There can be no excuse for rewarding such a culture of carelessness and failure.
“You have to wonder how much would have been paid if the SIA hadn’t cleared thousands of illegal immigrants for sensitive jobs.
“Bonuses should be for success, not failure.”
