He told The Sun: “If a company chooses not to pay the fines or is incapable of paying the fines rendered on them as a result of hiring illegal migrants, they would expect to be enforced upon. “And that would include all the way up to being dissolved, being struck off basically, just like if they didn’t pay their taxes. He added: “I always find it fascinating as someone who came out of the world of business that these questions are asked because it is clearly the case that in areas like immigration, whether it’s the driving licence regime, there are laws that exist that are simply not enforced.” Reform has promised to use the cash taken from firms who employ workers unlawfully and give it to the victims of migrant crime and schemes to revive struggling high streets. Nigel Farage also pledged to launch a Turkish Barber tip line, encouraging the public and companies to report suspected illicit working on Britain’s high streets.
