Twenty eight of the 189 serious foreign offenders wrongly freed from prison without deportation being considered are still at large, it has emerged. Immigration directorate director Lin Homer also said "one further serious offence" had been committed by one of the freed foreigners since December.
All 1013 foreign ex-prisoners had been considered for deportation, with 163 having now been deported, she said.
Officials want to deport a futher 512, while 31 cases were rejected by courts.
In 275 cases officials had decided not to seek deportation, with the remainder still in jail or on remand, Ms Homer said in a statement.
The prisoner deportation row led to Charles Clarke's sacking as home secretary in May last year, with John Reid taking over.
Legal 'frustrations'
Of the 28 offenders on the run, one is from the "most serious" category - convicted of either murder, manslaughter, rape and child sex offences - and 27 are considered "more serious", convicted of other violent offences and sex attacks.
Officials said a large number of individuals had "frustrated" the deportation process using last-minute legal barriers.
Ms Homer also disclosed £55,000 had been paid, since 1 April 2006, in compensation to nine foreign prisoners held in custody beyond their sentence while awaiting deportation.
She said she hoped any risk of repeating similar mistakes had been minimised.

Fuck sake Jules you live in London, seriously you must walk around oblivious to whats going on around you! The majority of Hotel workers/office cleaners are on less than the min wage. Illegal workers help the economy and yes there are yardies etc., who have committed crimes who are in prison. Furthermore the lad who killed Kiyan Prince is an Illegal 15 when he did it and has been sentenced to life! Or are you just being a typical Labour idiot, pretend it does not exist for fear of being calling racist! Morning Hurls! It's wonderful isn't it, an economy propped up on bad credit and the exploitation of illegal workers, if I actually understood anything I would be heartbroken... oh hang on! Yardies schmardies. An illegal was he? Interesting, what was he doing in a UK school then? It's not a matter of race fella, there are white illegals too!

Not really - he applied for a visa, and got one. What's wrong with that? It was turned down. It's only been over turned due to media pressure! In this case, I think the pressure was correctly exerted though. As far as I'm concerned, as I've said before, if someone's willing to come here, get a job, settle down and at least live alongside our way of life, they're welcome - and he's done exactly that. The law makes exception for special circumstances, and he was given it. Fair play. Besides which, he was granted the work permit on appeal. The original request was for leave of stay, which is a different issue.

Morning Jules
Well it is mate, the home office was cleaned by them until the latest scandal! Where your chappie had to stand down because they didn't track the illegals who'd served a prison term and made sure they where sent home. So there are illegal immigrants roaming are streets who've commited crimes such as rape and burglary. These are facts nothing to do with the daily mail!
He was going through the system, had Asylum
So you can't be racist or discriminate against a white person, interesting statement there Jules - sort of componds my head in the sand theory on Labour!

It is a very Branson / New Labour look You strange Nulayber types Must admit, I absolutely avoid wearing ties except where I have to, so my shirts are usually open at the neck when I do wear them - I find that having plain black shirts negates the need to wear a tie anyway, though

I know which mug I prefer! Ties are just stupid, though I have some nice ones - I just never wear them unless I have to. Maybe I will have to in future... tis the price one pays for career advancement!

When I played rugby, they asked that we wear our club ties on certain occasions, so I obliged then. Otherwise, you're very lucky to catch even a fleeting glimpse of one on me! Okay, they look kind of smart, but I find them restrictive and uncomfortable. Oddly, though, I have no problem with wearing a collar/choker.

Oddly, though, I have no problem with wearing a collar/choker. That seems reasonable! Rugby? With respect... were you a wing or a full back? They can be rather uncomfortable. Ah, well that sounds like anticipation of your spell in the hotseat, no?!
