An investigation has been launched after two immigration staff were revealed to be members of the British National Party (BNP), the UK Border Agency confirmed.
The two staff worked in an immigration removal centre until a list of BNP members appeared on the internet in November, according to a UK Border Agency spokesman.
After the list was made public, one resigned and another was suspended, he said.
"There is no place for racism in the immigration system," said the spokesman.
"We ask anyone carrying out duties on our behalf to sign a declaration stating they are not a member of the BNP, the National Front or Combat 18."
The Government agency is investigating how the two staff - who were employed on behalf of the Home Office by a private contractor - managed to slip through the net.
A probe was launched following the resignation in November, the spokesman
