"A High Court judge has told the Government that it would be 'improper' to start the enforced return of failed asylum-seekers to Iraq.
Mr Justice Collins, sitting in London yesterday, said the Government should not enforce the removal of individuals pending clarification of a legal ruling which could mean they have the right to stay in the UK.
However a Home Office spokesman said the Government was 'committed to commencing the enforced return of failed asylum-seekers'."
