A decision by the former home secretary Suella Braverman to drop two recommendations intended to repair some of the harm done to the Windrush generation was unlawful, the high court has ruled.
The decision to abandon a promise to establish a migrants’ commissioner and to drop a pledge to increase the powers of the independent chief inspector of borders and immigration (ICIBI) was found to have had a “disproportionately prejudicial effect upon Windrush victims” and indirectly discriminated against them.
