Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much compensation his Department has paid to persons entitled to reside in the UK for mistakes that were made under the hostile environment policy since October 2010.
Home Office records indicate that £12,360 has been paid in compensation in relation to 8 cases, since 2010. 7 of the payments were made to persons entitled to reside in the UK.
Home Office records indicate that no compensation has been paid with the condition that the recipient did not publicise that payment since 2010.
