answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The Windrush Compensation Scheme rules are available on the government website at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/windrush-compensation" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/windrush-compensation</a>.</p><p>Paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6 of the rules set out the provisions around criminality. This provides that the Home Office may reduce or decline to make an award under the scheme to a claimant who has been convicted of an offence in respect of which they have received a sentence of imprisonment of four years or more and their offending was of such a nature that it makes it inappropriate to make an award in whole or in part. This provision does not apply to a conviction and sentence outside of the UK for conduct which on the date of the conviction was not an offence in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 08/04/2019 15:42:22 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
