who was legally represented, made a relatively detailed witness statement which was submitted to the FtT. The Secretary of State’s decision had noted that this Appellant has five British citizen children, aged between 8 and 15 years. In his statement, this Appellant makes a bare, unparticularised reference to “ my wife and children ”. The remainder of his statement consists of much advocacy and little concrete evidence.

He said that this was because he looks after them financially and takes them to and from school. His wife cannot drive and she is not educated and there are no other relatives in the UK who can look after the children … he told us that all his children were in education and doing well at school. ” As appears from the following passage, this Appellant evidently did not proactively alert the FtT to the full picture: “ In subsequent re-examination it came out that in fact the Appellant is not living with his wife and children currently. He said it was a condition of his licence that he cannot go to Rochdale which is where they live. He sees them on Saturdays during the day. He confirmed therefore that he is not currently taking or collecting them from school nor is he in employment and providing for them financially … he has not worked since he was released from prison in November 2014. His licence will expire in November 2017 and he is on the Sex Offenders Register for an indefinite period. ” (c) In the case of the fourth Appellant,
