A new government crackdown on illegal migrant delivery workers has been unleashed just weeks after a major Daily Express exposé. Our investigation revealed that migrants arriving in the UK on small boats are working illegally as delivery drivers within hours of arriving here.
We found dozens of migrants staying in a taxpayer-funded London hotel operating as delivery drivers for some of the biggest companies in the UK. By law, migrants are unable to work under any circumstances if they have been in the country less than 12 months - and even those who have been here longer are not allowed to legally work as delivery drivers.

However, dozens of migrants were seen leaving a three-star hotel in London wearing Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats branding on e-bikes, able to earn around ￡1,000 a week whilst living in accommodation funded through the public purse.
Now, a new agreement between the Home Office and Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats will ensure delivery firms receive new information concerning the locations of asylum hotels to help tackle illegal working.
Under existing security measures, any delivery riders caught sharing their accounts with migrants who have no right to work in the UK will be suspended.

This new agreement goes further to ensure more people who are breaking the rules can be caught.
Efforts by the companies to crack down on illegal account sharing through real-time identity and Right to Work checks have been successful and have led to thousands being offboarded from platforms.
Despite this, there continues to be abuse in the system. Under the new agreement, the firms will be empowered to go further in detecting patterns of misuse, identify unauthorised account sharing and quickly suspend accounts.
The move comes after a commitment made by the firms during a roundtable last month, chaired by Ministers, to implement new security measures.
This includes increased facial verification checks and fraud detection tools meaning only verified users can access their platforms.
The Home Office will continue to collaborate closely with the three companies, with meetings taking place in the coming weeks to update on progress and delivery.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, said: “Illegal working undermines honest business, exploits vulnerable individuals and fuels organised immigration crime.
“By enhancing our data sharing with delivery companies, we are taking decisive action to close loopholes and increase enforcement.
“The changes come alongside a 50% increase in raids and arrests for illegal working under the Plan for Change, greater security measures and tough new legislation.”
Eddy Montgomery, Director of Enforcement, Compliance and Crime at the Home Office, said:
“This next step of co-ordinated working with delivery firms will help us target those who seek to work illegally in the gig economy and exploit their status in the UK.
"My teams will continue to carry out increased enforcement activity across the UK and I welcome this additional tool to disrupt and stop the abuse of our immigration system.”
A Deliveroo spokesperson said: “Deliveroo has led the sector in introducing security measures to prevent the abuse of our platform and tackle the sophisticated criminals seeking new ways to exploit all delivery platforms’ systems.
"We are fully committed to working with the government as we continue to collectively combat illegal working.
A Just Eat spokesperson said: “Just Eat is committed to tackling any illegal working via our platform.
"We continue to invest significant resources to strengthen our systems against abuse by individuals and organised criminal groups seeking to evade right to work rules.
