Immigration

General debate on Windrush Day 2026

A backbench debate marking Windrush Day 2026, which commemorates the arrival of the SS Empire Windrush in 1948 and the subsequent migration of Caribbean workers to post-war Britain. The debate will reflect on the historical significance of Caribbean migration, the contributions of the Windrush generation, and contemporary issues affecting British citizens of Caribbean heritage—particularly the Windrush scandal of 2017–18, when the Home Office wrongly detained and deported British citizens who had arrived as children. The discussion may cover immigration policy, citizenship rights, and the legacy of systemic discrimination.

The debate reflects Northern Ireland's unique position as part of the UK with an open land border to an EU member state.

Home Affairs Committee: Asylum Accommodation: Follow Up

The Home Affairs Committee is conducting follow-up oral evidence on asylum accommodation—the housing and support provided to people seeking asylum in the UK. This scrutiny follows a previous inquiry and examines whether current arrangements are working, whether they deliver value for money, and what pressures exist across the asylum system. The inquiry will likely probe government policy on accommodation providers, conditions in hostels and dispersed housing, and the costs to local authorities and the public purse.

Home Office (including Topical Questions)

Routine oral questions to the Home Office, the department responsible for policing, border control, immigration, and domestic security. MPs will pose questions on current Home Office priorities and challenges, with topical questions allowing MPs to raise urgent matters of the moment. This is standard parliamentary scrutiny of a major department.

These delegated legislation items allow the government to modify asylum support arrangements without full primary legislation.
