Written Question
Immigration: Windrush Generation
Monday 19th November 2018

Asked by: Stephen Twigg (Labour (Co-op) - Liverpool, West Derby)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he plans to impose a cap on compensation payments for the Windrush generation and their descendants.

Answered by Caroline Nokes

The Government has published a consultation paper on the Windrush compensation scheme. Among the range of issues covered in the consultation, we are seeking views on whether a cap or maximum amount should be applied to a payment made under the scheme.

We encourage people to respond to the consultation, which closed on 16 November, and welcome views on this matter.
