Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her October 2019 report to the Home Affairs Select Committee, how many of the 42 overseas applicants to the Windrush scheme whose application was withdrawn died before the process could be completed.

Representatives of the estate of affected individuals who have sadly passed away can claim compensation. Close family members of an eligible primary claimant, including in cases where the primary claimant has died, can also make a claim for compensation in their own right. Guidance and claim forms are available on GOV.UK

Of the 42 overseas cases reported as withdrawn in the October 2019 update to the Home Affairs Select Committee, the Home Office is aware of two individuals who had sadly passed away.
