We continue to review all aspects of the Compensation Scheme, listening and responding to feedback received from stakeholders and customers to ensure the Scheme is operating effectively for those affected. The Windrush Compensation Scheme will also undertake a review in October 2024, in line with the published Impact Assessment.

The Compensation Scheme has no end date and there is no cap on the number of claims we will accept or the amount of compensation we will pay out.

There is no planned timetable for post legislative scrutiny of the other bills mentioned in the question.
