Illegal immigrants from Turkey are believed to have been working on
a building which collapsed in north London last Friday (20
July).
Five builders were converting an off-licence and newsagent into one mini-supermarket in White Hart Lane when the front wall collapsed. It was feared that all the builders were trapped beneath the rubble, but this was dismissed over the weekend.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which has launched an investigation, said it could not confirm reports that undocumented foreign nationals were involved in the work.
An HSE spokesman added: " I have no information at present about the workers or about how the accident happened."
