To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what date the decision was taken to destroy the landing cards of Windrush migrants stored in her Department's offices in Croydon; and which Minister signed off that decision.

No decision was taken to destroy ‘Windrush migrant’ information specifically and records were not categorised as being related to a ‘Windrush migrant’ or the ‘Windrush generation’. Any Windrush papers would have been destroyed in line with the retention and disposal periods set for the wider records collections in which they were located.
