The Home Office has also lost up to 75,000 of the so-called "legacy" asylum seekers, the head of the UK Border Agency admitted.
They are now unlikely to ever be traced with some cases dating back to the 1990s, despite a five year trawl of the records.
Jonathan Sedgwick, the acting chief executive of UKBA, also admitted some of the remaining individuals have been allowed to stay despite having a criminal record.
"We now have 160,000 people entitled to the full welfare state. Had the system been run effectively, most of theses would not have been granted.
"There will be a burden on the taxpayer for many years to come."
Can everyone please have a look down the back of their sofa when they get home? Thanks. *
