Home Office staff to strike on eve of Games

Thousands of Home Office staff will strike the day before the Olympics open, the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union has said.

PCS members will strike for 24 hours next Thursday - when many thousands of visitors are due to arrive in the UK.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the action was "shameful" as it threatens disruption to people travelling to London for the Games.
