Zia Yusuf brands illegal working in Britain a 'slap in the face to the public' as he vows to 'reclaim our high streets'

He said: "Under a Reform Government, Britain will have the harshest penalties in the world for those employing illegal migrants.

"Bosses of companies employing illegal migrants will be sent to prison, and their companies fined 10 per cent of their global revenues.

"There are companies whose entire business model is based on profiting from illegal working.

"It is a slap in the face to the public. It makes a mockery of our immigration laws, takes jobs from British workers and is funding the people smugglers in the Channel.

"Young British people are being shut out of entry level jobs and our whole economy is being undermined.

"We will introduce the toughest penalties anywhere in the world for illegal working."
