PRITI PATEL’S Home Office should be stripped of responsibility for the Windrush compensation scheme after a “litany of flaws” was discovered by MPs today.

The cross-party Commons home affairs committee said the scheme should be transferred to an independent organisation to increase trust and encourage more applications.

MPs said the scheme’s design contained the same “bureaucratic insensitivities” that led to the scandal, which was a “damning indictment of the Home Office.”
