Migrant workers: key questions remain

So far the local media has not reported The St Ivean's reply to Allan Hampshire's letter in the Cornishman newspaper of March 13 defending Operation Westport, the eviction of Polish migrant workers from houses in Penzance.

There are five questions:

1) Were the evictions at all stages lawful?
2) Were there children among the evicted and, if so, how were they accommodated and for how long?
3) What precisely were the conditions at the premises?
4) Did those conditions leave the Council with no alternative but to eject the tenants onto the streets?
5) What consideration was given to the effect of the evictions on community relations?

Until we have clear answers to the above, the questioning will go on.
