A compensation scheme for those affected has long been criticised for being too complicated and too slow, with at least 23 victims having died without being paid.
The Windrush generation refers to the thousands of people who came to the UK between 1949 and 1971 from Caribbean countries.
During a parliamentary debate about the scheme, Ms Abbott, whose mother was part of the Windrush generation, accused ministers of ignoring proposals for ways to speed up the scheme. Supporting her proposal, the SNP's Stuart McDonald said: "Is it not blindingly obvious that people who have had their lives destroyed by a government department will be reluctant, terrified even, to have to engage with that same department again."
