The wider issue around the immigration status difficulties affecting some of the Windrush generation has come to the fore, and the attention of Ministers, in recent months. On the 16 April we set up a Taskforce to help those affected get documents they need and on 30 May, the Windrush Scheme came into force. This Scheme is designed to ensure that members of this generation, their children born in the UK and those who arrived in the UK as minors will be able to apply for citizenship, or various other immigration products, free of charge.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 26/06/2018 13:36:37 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
