Government must publish report on institutional racism and Windrush scandal, lawyer says
A lawyer for Windrush victims says the government must publish a report which suggests institutional racism at the Home Office caused the scandal.
"If we are to understand anything about Windrush and its implications for policy making at the Home Office, an understanding of history is essential." It also describes a contradictory immigration policy that assumed that too many immigrants from minority ethnic backgrounds were bad for society, whilst race relations policy promoted the idea of racial equality.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "This report does not represent government policy and the views included in it are those of the author who is a historian independent from the Home Office."
