THE head of the UK Border Force launched a scathing attack on Home Secretary Theresa May tonight as he quit to launch a constructive dismissal case.
Brodie Clark denied improperly extending a relaxation of controls and accused Mrs May of making his position untenable.
In a statement Mr Clark said: "I am anxious to take part in any independent inquiry into matters relating to UK Border Agency, but my position at UKBA had been made untenable because of the statements made in the House of Commons by the Home Secretary Theresa May.
"Those statements are wrong and were made without the benefit of hearing my response to formal allegations.
"With the Home Secretary announcing and repeating her view that I am at fault, I cannot see how any process conducted by the Home Office or under its auspices, can be fair and balanced."
