Closed petition Windrush Scandal – Increase levels & speed of compensation

There have been 1275 compensation claims since the scheme was launched. Only 60 claimants have been paid, just over £360,000, an average of just £6,000 per claimant. This is an unacceptable level of payment for the trauma and loss that these victims have wrongfully been subjected to.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
