Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 3:33 pm on 10th February 2020.
We have considered whether any of the people involved would benefit from protections under the Windrush scheme. The answer is no, none of them is a British citizen or British national.

I recognise the legal duty this Government have, as does the Home Secretary, and we will fulfil it.
