Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many staff in her Department are assigned to work on the Windrush Compensation Scheme.
Information on the number of claims on which compensation has been paid under the Windrush Compensation Scheme is available to view on GOV.UK at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/windrush-compensation-scheme-data-august-2020. Data also refers to the number of zero entitlement claims and those rejected on eligibility grounds.
We deploy staff flexibly across different areas. We now have over 100 staff working on the Windrush Compensation Scheme, including the Windrush Helpline, casework, quality assurance, payment and review functions.
