A REPORT into the Windrush scandal will be published today, the Home Office has announced.
Home Secretary Priti Patel has been urged to release the review into the scandal as soon as possible by the author of the report. Wendy Williams submitted her report to the Home Secretary yesterday.
The independent review was commissioned after people with a right to live in the UK were wrongfully detained or deported to the Caribbean.
Williams said: “I have today submitted my report into what lessons should be learnt from the Windrush scandal to the Home Secretary. I now encourage the Home Secretary to publish the Windrush Lessons Learned Review report as soon as possible.”
A Home Office spokesman said: “We expect to publish the report and its findings tomorrow, subject to parliamentary time.”
The process has already been hit by claims the report’s findings have been watered down.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
