Whistleblower: 'I feel vindicated'

The Home Office whistleblower whose allegations about the handling of east European immigration triggered the row said he felt vindicated by Beverley Hughes's resignation.

Arriving at a disciplinary hearing with Home Office officials in Sheffield, Steve Moxon said the resignation had taken him by complete surprise.

He said: "I can't understand why she went to all the trouble of defending herself only to resign.

"I need to take stock and deal with this when it all calms down.

"What I said was just the tip of the iceberg and she is responsible because she has been at best incompetent.

"I have had to be careful how I have gone about this. I have not taken any money from any source.

"I feel vindicated but I wonder who is going to take the job now. You talk of a poisoned chalice but this is more like a tanker full of cyanide.

"It was worth putting my job on the line. I don't have a very well paid job and the pressure was intolerable."
