Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has paid damages under its hostile environment immigration policy on condition that the recipient did not publicise that payment since October 2010.

Further to my response to UIN 160359 of 4 July 2018 stated that since 2010 the Home Office had paid £12,360 in ex-gratia payments in relation to 8 cases where compliant environment measures had been applied.

Home Office records indicate that since 2010 there have been no payments for damages relating to compliant environment measures.
