Home Office has lost track of 40,000 rejected migrants

The Times
"The Home Office has lost track of tens of thousands of migrants who were refused extensions to their visas more than six years ago, it emerged today. ....The Agency is currently working its way through a backlog of between 400,000 - 450,000 old asylum cases and is now preparing to start work on the 40,000 backlog of old immigration cases. ...Ms Homer said most of the files related to cases dating back before 2003 and were immigrants who have been refused an extension to their visa allowing them to remain in the UK."
