Lost: 40,000 illegal migrants.

If found please inform The Home Office.

A fresh scandal hit the Home Office as officials admitted up to 40,000 suspected illegal immigrants have gone missing.

The names of the migrants are being checked against the Police National Computer and other watch lists to find out what they have been doing, and where they might be.

The 40,000 arrived in the UK legally, but had requests to extend their stay turned down. The Home Office did not deport them and has no record of them leaving the country. Their files were logged in a Home Office 'archive', but are now being reopened.

So no improvement in the Home Office since Jacqui "Jackboot" Smith left then.
