Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications he has received for the compensation scheme for the Windrush generation.

The Windrush Compensation Scheme is not yet in operation to receive applications.

The Government has committed to establishing a compensation scheme that is tailored to meet the needs of those affected. The Home Office published a consultation paper on 19 July seeking views on the design and operation of the scheme and this consultation period runs until 11 October. We will announce details of the final scheme and how to apply as soon as possible after the public consultation has ended.
