Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to reassure members of the Windrush generation about the legality of their immigration status.

I would not want anyone from the Windrush generation who has made their life in the UK to feel unwelcome or to be in any doubt of their right to remain here.

We have identified influential faith leaders in key cities throughout the UK and Caribbean community groups who will cascade our messages to the Windrush generation. We will identify 10-15 outreach community ambassadors who will carry out this activity This will include churches, community events and local businesses, in around 400 African Caribbean touch points in five key cities including: London, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham and Bristol.

Individuals can contact the dedicated Home Office taskforce to help the Windrush Generation and other long-term residents to evidence their right to be in the UK and to access the necessary services and benefits. They can contact the Home Office, by telephone on 0800 678 1925 or by emailing commonwealthtaskforce@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
