Windrush Day
I was very pleased to take part in the recent debate on Windrush Day 2021.
I used the debate to celebrate the Windrush generation and their descendants, but also to raise serious concerns about the operation of the Windrush compensation scheme.
The scheme has been far too slow to pay out and has left many families with even less confidence in the Home Office.
In the debate, I called on the Government to make the scheme fully independent in order to restore trust and confidence.
