Foreign nationals who were living illegally in Grenfell Tower have been given more time to apply for the government's immigration amnesty.

An extra two months has been given for undocumented residents living in the tower to claim protection from deportation, the Home Office announced on Thursday (November 30).

A policy on leave to remain outside the Immigration Rules for eligible residents of Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk was introduced in July to ensure victims of the tragedy get the access they need to vital services, irrespective of immigration status.
