“fast-tracking” his ex-lover’s nanny’s
application to stay in Britain, writes Clare

Sir Alan Budd discovered a fax and an email were sent from
Blunkett’s office to immigration officials discussing the
case of Leoncia Casalme who was Kimberly Quinn’s nanny.

Education secretary Charles Clarke will replace Blunkett as Home
Secretary and Ruth Kelly will become the secretary of state for
education.
