Policy motion - Righting wrongs: Restoring the Rights of the Windrush Generation

Subject to acceptance by the Conference Committee, this motion will be moved by Pauline Pearce with summation by Roderick Lynch. It calls for a public enquiry into the policies and implementation of immigration policy undertaken by the UK government between 1997 and 2018, a return to a fair and just rules based immigration system which is transparent and predictable, the righting of the wrongs perpetrated by the Home Office in individual immigration cases and the establishment of a system of compensation for all the victims of the Home Office's unjust policies.
