A Polish man who drunkenly mowed down a cyclist in West Lothian is included in a dossier of foreign criminals Leave campaigners say UK cannot deport because of European Union rules.

Andrzej Stankiewicz, who was three times over the drink-driving limit, was convicted of death by careless driving and sentenced to five years in prison.

But Vote Leave say he be cannot be deported because he does not meet EU criteria.

They have released a list of 50 foreign criminals they say the UK's EU membership has made more difficult to deport.

Conservative justice minister Dominic Raab said that UK families were less safe as a result.

Also included in the dossier is Learco Chindamo, who was convicted of the 1995 murder of headmaster Philip Lawrence.

Mr Raab said: "Free movement of people allows unelected judges in the rogue European Court to decide who we can and can't deport. This puts British families at risk.

"It squanders UK taxpayers' money on keeping them in prison - and that's on top of the £50 million we send to the EU every day."

But immigration minister James Brokenshire said the Prime Minister's new deal with Brussels, negotiated earlier this year, gave the UK greater control over deportations.

Mr Brokenshire also warned that leaving the EU would deprive the UK of the ability to use the European Arrest Warrant.

Former European commissioner Lord Mandelson also claimed that Vote Leave was "distorting the true picture" over deportation.

The Labour peer said: "(Mr Raab) rightly talks about 50 foreign European criminals who have not yet been deported. Ask him about the 6,500 European criminals that have been successfully deported from this country through our use of the European Arrest Warrant since 2010.

"They take a germ of truth, then they generalise from it and in the process they distort the true picture."
