Windrush compensation meeting at Kingshurst church

SCANDAL: The controversy was named after the Empire Windrush liner,
which brought some of the first Caribbean migrants to Britain in 1948.

A COMPENSATION meeting for those affected by one of the biggest political scandals of recent years will be held in Kingshurst tonight (Monday).
The event at the New Testament Church of God, in Gilson Way, will be offering advice to those caught up in the Windrush controversy.
When the scandal broke last year, it emerged that many who formed part of the so-called 'Windrush generation' had been wrongly detained, denied legal rights and either been deported or threatened with deportation.
The issue affected various residents who had lived in the UK for decades and the government's handling of the scandal led to the resignation of then Home Secretary Amber Rudd.
The event has been organised by Bishop Dr Desmond Jaddoo and a Home Office representative is also expected at the meeting. It starts at 6pm.
