Petition Action

Investigate the destruction of Windrush records by the Home Office.

Petition Details

The Home office said that these documents were disposed of under the Data Protection Act. The result has been thousands of people effectively being made stateless and some being deported.
There are reports of what happened and of staff raising concerns at the time and being overruled.

Additional Information

The Windrush generation like millions of immigrants from around the world brought their families here, settled and made a massive contribution to British life.

This government appears to have set out to strip them of their rights by changing the law without debate and disposing of the records.

Shredding historical records that effectively remove rights from British citizens is an appalling abuse of power.

It must be investigated!
