In each case, the Home Office accepted their argument that deporting them
would breach their human rights rather than asking a judge to decide. The
number has increased fivefold in four years, throwing into doubt the
commitment of Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to deporting foreign
criminals.
They were allowed to stay despite Damian Green, the immigration minister,
telling the Commons last December that the Government was "doing
everything in our power to increase the number and speed of removals".
The figures, disclosed to The Telegraph under the Freedom of
Information Act, show that there were 56 such cases in 2008, rising to 80 in
2009, 217 in 2010 and 250 in 2011 and that:
• In 2011, at least one terrorist – and possibly up to four – was allowed to
stay, as well as up to eight killers and rapists. Also among the total were
20 robbers and up to eight paedophiles, plus as many as four people
convicted of firearms offences.
• In 2010, the Home Office conceded in the cases of up to four murderers and
up to four people convicted of manslaughter, as well as up to four rapists,
up to eight paedophiles and 43 people convicted of violent crime or robbery.
