Citizens from the EU living in the EU risk the same fate as the Windrush generation, MPs have warned.
Protestors are reflected in a puddle as they wave European flags to demonstrate against Brexit in front of the Parliament in London, Monday, Dec. 3, 2018.Citizens from the EU living in the EU risk becoming the next victims of failed Home Office policies which led to the Windrush scandal, MPs have warned.
LONDON — Millions of EU nationals living in the UK could suffer the same fate as the Windrush generation after Brexit, according to a damning report from MPs. "As the UK prepares to exit the EU there is a risk that EU citizens will also be caught out if they do not have the required documents." But the PAC said the Home Office had a track record of failing to protect people's legal rights to live and work in the UK, criticising the department for showing a"lack of care" and doing nothing to tackle the systemic issues that created the Windrush scandal.
