Immigration backlog: New warning from watchdog

The UK Border Agency has no "clear strategy" for dealing with a group of more than 150,000 foreign nationals staying on after visas expire, the borders and immigration inspector says.

John Vine said the group, typically foreign students, is growing in number.

His report warned that immigration officers did not know how many of those told to leave the UK had actually left.

Chris Mason reports.
