Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to her answer of 17 January 2023 to question 119209 on Windrush Lessons Learned Review, what additional steps her Department plans to take to implement Wendy William's recommendation to run a programme of reconciliation events with members of the Windrush generation.

We understand the importance and value of engaging with communities impacted by the Windrush scandal through face-to-face engagement. The Home Office has held over 200 public engagement and outreach events across the country to raise awareness of the Windrush Schemes. This includes 120 one-to-one surgeries attended by Windrush Help teams, to support people applying for documentation.

We recognise parliament has a keen interest in the progress of Wendy William’s recommendations. The Home Office keeps HASC and members of both houses updated on progress and will continue to do so.
