answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 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> 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

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> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 10/05/2018 10:38:45 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
