Written Question
Windrush Compensation Scheme
Monday 22nd April 2024

Asked by: Mark Hendrick (Labour (Co-op) - Preston)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people in (a) England, (b) the North West, (c) Lancashire and (d) Preston have been (i) awarded and (ii) denied compensation from the Windrush Compensation Scheme.

Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)

Information on the number of Windrush Compensation Scheme claims that have received a compensation payment and that have received a zero entitlement decision is published as part of the Transparency Data release. The latest published data, covering the period up to the end of February 2024, is available here: Windrush Compensation Scheme data: February 2024 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

The Windrush Compensation Scheme does not publish regional data about compensation awards and zero-entitlement decisions.

A zero entitlement claim is one where the person making the claim meets the eligibility criteria under the scheme rules, but is not entitled to any compensation as we have not been able to identify any losses or impacts suffered as a result of an inability to demonstrate lawful status.
