Ann Gloag slams deportation ruling

Apr 13 2009

Bus tycoon Ann Gloag has criticised a tribunal ruling which has left an Indian man and his family facing deportation.

Swarthick Salins' application for leave to stay in Britain was rejected by a judge after his savings fell £78 below the minimum level set by the UK Border Agency.

Mr Salins, 37, who has lived in Scotland for nine years, studied for a PhD at St Andrews University with backing from the Balcraig Foundation, a charity set up by multimillionaire Stagecoach founder Ms Gloag.
