Pastor: Windrush generation still suspicious of Home Office

Reverend Clive Foster, the first Windrush Commissioner, has pledged to push for speedier payouts from a much-criticised compensation scheme for those affected by the scandal.

Last month just ahead of announcing his appointment, immigration minister Seema Malhotra confirmed around 64 claimants had died after applying for payouts, as she set out the Government’s wish to speed up “justice”.
