The government has ordered the removal of an advertisement to teach shelter seekers about balloon-craft, cake decorating and other craftsmanship.
The role of hospitality and floristry tutor included workshops on art and craft activities.
Home Office Minister Seema Malhotra instructed the contractor, Mati to take out the advertisement After the sun Tutors were planned to hire for the Heathro Immigration Removal Center.
Chris Filp, the home secretary of the conservative shadow, “criticized the roles as putting taxpayers’ money into allowances, when every effort should be on exile”.
Job advertisements states that applicants should “promote, design, design, design, and provide workshops in relevant creative skills including floristry, cake decorating, balloon-crafts, art and craft activities to meet the needs of residents and constructive needs.”
Another, for a painting and decorating tutor, intended to “continuously boost, design and deliver painting and decorating workshops”.
Both posts were advertised as paying £ 31,585 per year.
Malhotra has now asked Miti to remove the posts.
He said: “We do not believe that all these roles are necessary and they have asked the office of the house to talk to Miti to remove them.”
The conservatives criticized the jobs – saying that they were uncertain.
Filp said: “Labor taxpayers are putting money in allowances, when every effort should be on exile. Hiring gym managers and hiring balloon craft tutors for those who should be removed, uncertain and should be stopped immediately.
“If you come here illegally, you should not be rewarded with the course and comfort, you should be exile.”
Sun Chhaya Justice Secretary Robert Jenrich claimed that the government “lost the plot” and “accustomed to provide free”, saying: “These jobs should be immediately withdrawn and replaced by security authorities that can increase exile.”
However, the rights of asylum seekers had a “duty” to provide such roles with the Charity Detection Action Government.
Charity director James Wilson said: “The government should only use immigration as a last solution, and is required for the least time. They are fabulous in both cases.
“In the previous year, the home office detained thousands of people at a time or for years, and more than 60% of them were released later.
“Until a time limit is started in custody, it is the duty of the government to support mental health and keep it in custody.”
Mitie, a facility management company, has signed several deals with the home office to provide immigration services, including two, including two next to the UK’s busiest airport.
Heathrow’s collenbrook and harmondsworth IRC features are the largest immigration centers in Europe, holding 965 residents.
A Mitie spokesperson stated that the roles were for “physical and mental well -being of the detained people” and “part of our contractual obligations”.
He said: “The influence of these services was recently revealed in the Inspector Report of Inspector of His Majesty in Hermondsworth, stating that these provisions contributed to focusing more overall focus on helping individuals to manage detention stresses.”
A Report published last year The conditions at the West London Immigration Center were “worst” in the country, and put the prisoners in “adjacent risk of loss”.
It states that the use and violence of drugs at the center was “wide”.
