Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information his Department holds on the number of people scheduled for removal to Nigeria and Ghana on 28 March 2017 who were eligible for assistance under the Windrush scheme.

There were 60 people scheduled for removal to Nigeria and Ghana on a returns charter flight planned for 28 March 2017.

Any individual who believes they are protected under the provisions of the 1971 Immigration Act is able to contact the Windrush Taskforce, who will help to identify their current status. Information on the Windrush Taskforce is readily available on the Home Office website. None of the individuals have contacted the Taskforce.
