Home Office failing Windrush generation again, spending watchdog finds

Despite promise to learn lessons', Priti Patel's department set up process that is too complex for victims, with inadequate capacity

The Windrush generation is being failed by the Home Office all over again" because of fundamental problems in the compensation scheme for UK citizens misclassified as illegal immigrants, parliament's spending watchdog has concluded.

Despite a promise to learn lessons", Priti Patel's department has set up a process that is too complex and difficult for victims to engage with, and with inadequate capacity since it was launched two years ago, the public accounts committee said in a report published on Tuesday.
