Windrush: Home Office admits data breach in compensation scheme
The Home Office has admitted breaching data protection rules when it launched the Windrush compensation scheme.
An internal review has been launched and the matter has been referred to the Information Commissioner. The recipients included Windrush migrants and other people who had asked to be kept informed about the compensation scheme, which was launched last week. They were granted indefinite leave to remain in 1971 but thousands were children travelling on their parents' passports, without their own documents.
