Emigration: Children

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many applications have been received for the Government's ex gratia payment scheme for former British child migrants to date.

Answer

As of 3 April 2019, the Child Migrants Trust had received 1,590 expressions of interest and issued 1,316 forms to former British child migrants, to enable them to apply for the payment. 666 completed forms have been received. These will be checked before passing the details to the NHS Business Services Authority to arrange for the payment to be made.

We expect the first payments to be made on or soon after 5 April.
