Windrush Lessons Learned Review

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Windrush Unit plans to complete its review of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review, published on 19 March 2020.

Answer

We have established a new Windrush Unit in the Home Office dedicated to driving systemic, cultural change across the whole Department to ensure that what happened to the Windrush generation never happens again.

The reinstated Windrush Unit comprises of existing Home Office Civil Servants, so re-establishing the unit did not incur any additional cost.

The appointment process for the Windrush Commissioner is nearing completion, and we will make an announcement shortly. Once appointed, the Commissioner will advise on the Home Office’s response to the Windrush Lessons Learned Review which will inform when the review is completed.
