Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many successful applicants to the Windrush Compensation Scheme have been awarded less than £1000 since April 2019.

Information on the amount of compensation paid under the Windrush Compensation Scheme is available to view on GOV.UK at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/windrush-compensation-scheme-data-may-2020.

Average calculations are possible, but it would be wrong to infer these as overall averages as some of the payments are interim payments, where we have resolved part of the claim and the claimant may then be entitled to further compensation as we resolve the remainder of the claim. Furthermore, impacts on individuals have varied greatly, so each claim is unique and the compensation reflects individual circumstances.
