Emigration: Children
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 14 January 2019 to Question 206773 on Emigration: Children, what involvement former child migrants have had in the development of the ex gratia payment scheme announced by the Government.
- Answer
-
On 19 December the Government published its response to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse's Interim Report and its report on Child Migration Programmes. The response states that the Government will establish an ex-gratia payment scheme and will ensure that former child migrants receive a payment as soon as possible, in recognition of the fundamentally flawed nature of the historic child migration policy.
The Government is working closely with the Child Migrants Trust to develop and establish the payment scheme, about which further details will be provided shortly.
