Windrush Compensation Scheme

Debate between Liz Kendall and Sajid Javid

Wednesday 3rd April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Sajid Javid]

One category we have also included in the compensation is a discretionary category, because we are well aware that, although we can identify some of the most likely detriments to compensate, there may be some exceptional cases, and I want to make sure that nothing is left out by the compensation scheme.

[Liz Kendall (Leicester West) (Lab)]

Will the Home Secretary look into the case of my constituent Mr Espedy Alvester Thomas? He has once again applied for a passport, this time under the Windrush scheme, and he still has not had a decision. Will the Home Secretary assure me that he will take every action to make sure similar delays do not happen with this compensation scheme?

[Sajid Javid]

I would be happy to look into that case.
