Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate he has made of the overtime accrued by staff in his Department working on the Windrush task force in each of the last four weeks.

The Department has not estimated the overtime accrued by Taskforce staff.

There are over 150 people undertaking a variety of working patterns on the Taskforce helpline, booking appointments, making call backs and handling cases. The Department offers staff flexible working arrangements, with staff having the choice of working additional hours, or varying their usual working patterns; and the option to receive overtime payments or accruing time off in lieu.
