A retired ambulance service worker who has dedicated his life to helping others has been told to pay a £6,000 fine within 60 days after a migrant was found hiding inside a trailer attached to his converted motorhome in France.
Great-grandfather Peter Hughes, 75, who met the late Queen Elizabeth after accepting a long-service award from North West Ambulance Service, has branded the enforcement action by the Home Office as 'obscene'.
He said he and his wife, Anne, 78, knew nothing of the would-be stowaway - and they have cooperated fully with the authorities at every turn.
Peter told the M.E.N. how French border force officers at the Port of Calais found a young Sudanese man hiding inside the trailer.
