EVEN Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington recently called into question the government’s policy on capping compensation for certain categories of loss for victims of the Windrush scandal.
Presented with the government’s proposed compensation figures on The Andrew Marr Show, he seemed to contradict the Home Office approach to setting compensation amounts, saying: “I think it depends on each individual case and I’m sure if there’s evidence of injustice that is something that home office ministers will look at.”
When asked if it was a disgrace that a victim of the Windrush scandal Albert Thompson could be given just £500 compensation after being denied cancer treatment, Lidington said “clearly on the account you’ve given to me that was a disgrace.”
