Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing additional resources to help the Windrush Compensation Scheme to process applications.
The Windrush Compensation Scheme remains fully focused on reducing the time taken to process claims. The Scheme is committed to recruiting additional staff and is working to increase Decision Makers to 154, by June 2023. This resource will further speed up the consideration of claims and ensure that every claimant receives the maximum amount available to them at the earliest point possible.
