Home Office forced to release critical report on origins of Windrush scandal

Government had objected to report's publication as it may damage trust of affected communities'

The Home Office has been forced to release a suppressed report on the origins of the Windrush scandal by a tribunal judge who quoted George Orwell in a judgment criticising the department's lack of transparency.

For the past three years, Home Office staff have worked to bury a hard-hitting research paper that states that roots of the scandal lay in 30 years of racist immigration legislation designed to reduce the UK's non-white population.
