Mother deported after 30 years can return

A mother-of-two who was deported despite having lived in Britain for 30 years has won a reprieve after the Home Office reversed their decision.

Irene Clennell, 53, who was the main carer for her British husband John, was placed in an immigration detention centre before being deported to Singapore earlier this year.

Mrs Clennell, who lived in County Durham and has two sons and a granddaughter, has been granted a visa after the Government said a new application “meets the immigration rules to enter the UK”.
