Chief Immigration Inspector To Resign Early
John Vine, the independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, has announced that he is to resign from his position early.
Mr Vine, who has held the post for six years, has announced that he will leave six months earlier than was planned – stepping down in December this year instead of July 2015.
The early departure of Mr Vine has been described as an "indictment of [Home Secretary] Theresa May's attempts to silence his criticisms of her failing immigration system".
