A MUM who has seen her son's family ripped apart by tough new immigration laws has been invited to speak at a key Parliamentary debate about the controversial legislation.
Gillian Davies-Nippel has seen at close quarters just how devastating fresh guidelines, put in place last summer, can be.
Her heartbroken son Kevin Allen, from Catrine, appeared in the Chronicle on December 26 as he faced up to Christmas without wife Jamie and children Tristan and Eowyn.
His fight to obtain a visa for the trio to fly them in from the USA has been a frustrating and ultimately forlorn one.

Check out the full story in this week's Chronicle.
