THE Home Office’s Windrush compensation scheme has come under fresh fire after new figures show just 1 per cent of appeals were successful last year.

According to freedom of information data obtained by Labour MP Kate Osamor, only 42 out of 3,479 claimant appeals in 2021 resulted in a settlement. 

The MP said the figures, which were published in the i newspaper at the weekend, show that the appeals process is “not fit for purpose.”
