answer text <p>A comprehensive assessment was carried out to inform the decision to award the contract to produce UK passports, as part of the procurement process, and this included analysis within a number of areas. The information captured within these assessments is commercially sensitive and the Home Office has no plans to publish this information on that basis.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department was made aware of the immigration status difficulties of individual cases, as flagged by members of the House and the media. 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> more like this

answer text <p>What happened with the Windrush cohort should not have happened. We value the contribution made by Commonwealth citizens who have made a life in the UK and would not want anyone to feel unwelcome or to be in any doubt of their right to remain here.</p><p>We have established a dedicated taskforce to help the Windrush Generation and other long-term residents ensure they have evidence to demonstrate their right to be in the UK and to access the necessary services and benefits.</p><p>We will also put in place 50 senior caseworkers across the country to ensure where more junior members of staff are unsure about a decision they can speak to someone with experience to ensure discretion is properly exercised.</p><p>The Home Secretary announced that there was already a lessons-learned review under way in the Department. This will have independent oversight and will seek to draw out how members of the Windrush generation came to be entangled in measures designed for illegal immigrants, why that was not spotted sooner and whether the right corrective measures are now in place.</p>
