THE Home Office must review hundreds of deportations made since 2014 over the Windrush scandal, an MP says.

Labour’s David Lammy made the call yesterday after uncovering figures showing that 900 people aged over 50 were removed from the UK in 2015, with 300 sent to Jamaica.

The former cabinet minister says Home Secretary Amber Rudd must look again at the case “to ensure no wrongful detentions have taken place”.

The call came two hours after Lammy revealed that the imminent deportation of a 35-year-old man had been halted following his intervention. Mozi Haynes, whose mother was from the Windrush Generation, was supposed to be removed today, but Lammy said this would be reviewed.

The Home Office said no “enforced removal” was scheduled and the case was not related to Windrush.

Lammy tweeted that confirmation had been given by Immigration Minister Caroline Nokes, who on Monday told reporters that some people may have been deported “in error”.

Yesterday cabinet colleague David Lidington repeated comments by Rudd, who said she was not aware of any such cases.

But in a meeting with Commonwealth leaders, Prime Minister Theresa May said she was “genuinely sorry” about the impact of deportation threats made to the children of citizens who moved to the UK as part of post-war rebuilding efforts.

In her apology, May said she wanted to “dispel any impression that my government is in some sense clamping down on Commonwealth citizens, particularly those from the Caribbean who have built a life here”.

She said the problem is the result of rules aimed at ensuring those without the right to remain in the UK do not access the NHS or welfare system.

The changes were brought in while May was Home Secretary.

A help team has now been set up to help those affected prove their right to be in the UK.

May said: “The overwhelming majority of the Windrush generation do have the documents that they need, but we are working hard to help those who do not.”

She went on: “Those who arrived from the Caribbean before 1973 and lived here permanently without significant periods of time away in the last 30 years have the right to remain in the UK.

“As do the vast majority of long-term residents who arrived later, and I don’t want anybody to be in any doubt about their right to remain here in the United Kingdom.”

However, claims emerged yesterday in The Guardian that thousands of slips recording the arrival dates of Windrush immigrants had been destroyed in 2010. The allegations are said to have been made by a former Home Office worker.

Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness said “the right thing is being done”.

On May’s culpability, he said: “I can’t answer that question. The truth is that she has said there has been a policy change, that this was an unintended consequence.

“As Caribbean leaders we have to accept that in good faith.”

When asked if he was satisfied that no one had been deported as a result of UK paperwork issues, Holness said: “I asked the direct question of the Prime Minister, she was not able to say definitively that that was not the case.

“But they are assuring us that they are checking the records that they have to make sure that that is not the case.

“If persons were deported, they have told us that they have established a hotline ... and they are encouraging persons who may fit that category to call it.”
