Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people who claimed compensation under the Windrush Compensation Scheme have died before their claims had been settled.
In unfortunate cases when the claimant passes away after submitting a compensation claim but before the claim is fully resolved, we work with the families to ensure the compensation payment is made to the appropriate person on the claimant’s behalf. We have had three such cases so far and are working closely with the fami-lies and legal representatives in all of these cases to determine the right person to whom the compensation can be paid.
