Members of parliament have been using a Home Office hotline and webpage to report people for immigration enforcement, Politics.co.uk can reveal. In response to a Freedom of Information request, the Home Office confirmed that it received 482 tip-offs from MPs between 2014 and 2016.

The news raises the possibility that MPs are reporting their own constituents to the authorities when they have come to them for help

The Green party today hit out at the practice calling it a "fundamental betrayal of trust" and called for the MPs involved to come clean about how they came about the information they reported.

"This appears to be a fundamental betrayal of trust and duty of care if elected representatives have been tipping off the Home Office about people they suspect to be undocumented migrants," party co-leader Jonathan Bartley said. "Members of parliament should support, defend and advocate for all those living in their local communities, not have them dragged away to indefinite detention and potential deportation. Serious questions must now be asked about how the Home Office's 'Big Brother' system is being used by MPs.
