Closed Recognise The Windrush Generation & make them all automatically British citizens

Closed on

In 1948 hundreds from the Carribean answered the call from the motherland to help rebuild the UK. Many continued to arrive with their families until 1971 & under the 1948 national immigration act were automatically granted British citizenship. It's time to make all of that generation British.

David Lammy called for recognition of the Windrush Generation & many more.
