Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate examines the Windrush Compensation Scheme, which provides redress to members of the Windrush generation and their descendants who were wrongly denied access to services or faced deportation because of failures in the government's immigration records. The debate will assess the scheme's effectiveness, the speed and adequacy of compensation payments, and whether the process has resolved the injustices suffered by affected individuals.

The Windrush scandal exposed systemic failures in how the Home Office treated long-term British residents and citizens, many of Caribbean heritage, causing severe hardship through loss of employment, housing, healthcare access, and threats of deportation. The compensation scheme represents a measure of accountability; its performance directly affects whether victims of this government error receive fair redress and signals whether Parliament is adequately scrutinising Home Office reform.
