The workforce is announcing a ‘Windrush commissioner’ to supervise the compensation scheme for victims of the immigration scandal.

The role will come with a salary of up to £ 130,000 per year, based on Brata, for working a three -day fool for a period of three years.

It means that, for the minimum time commitment, a successful applicant would expect to win £ 78,000 per year.

Cabinet ministers earn £ 67,505 in addition to their MP salary of £ 91,346, a total of £ 158,851.

The work promised to appoint a commissioner as part of his manifesto of general elections to “ensure that victims of the frightful Windrush scandal have their voices.”

There was a general protest in 2018 after the revelations about the treatment of the generation of migrants who arrived in the United Kingdom from the Caribbean after World War II.

The scandal saw many British citizens deny access to medical care and benefits. He also saw more than 80 people deported erroneously despite living in the United Kingdom for decades.

The Interior Ministry said that, once appointed, the commissioner will be “an independent defender of all those affected by the scandal.”

They will also provide advice on the ‘delivery of the compensation and state schemes’ and the response of the Ministry of Interior to a conviction of ‘learned lessons’.

Seema Malhotra, the Minister of Migration and Citizenship, said: ‘The appointment of a Windrush commissioner will mark a vital step to restore the government’s response to the Windrush scandal of the Interior Ministry and deliver the change that the victims of this scandal want and deserve see.

‘This independent defender will guarantee that the voices of the victims and communities are heard and acted throughout the government.

‘By getting involved with the communities, leading improvements and holding the government, the commissioner will help to ensure that a lasting change is delivered and that the lessons of the past are really learned.

“The Secretary of the Interior and I hope to work side by side with the successful candidate in this crucial work to ensure that such injustice can never happen again, and that dignity is restored to those who have suffered.”

The commissioner will work with the Windrush unit in the Interior Ministry, which has been restored by Interior Minister Yvette Cooper, since they win the work elections.

Blaverman Sála, the former Secretary of the Interior of Tory, dissolved the unit during her time in the Interior Ministry amid statements that she thought it was time to “continue” from the scandal.

The figures of the Interior Ministry published in September showed that of the 868 claims of the Windrush compensation scheme that were still being processed at the end of August 135 (16 percent) had been in the system for at least 12 months.

Some 63 claims (7 percent of the total) had been in the system for more than 18 months, below 118 of the previous year.

At the end of August 2024, a total of 9,000 claims had been made. Almost £ 96 million had been paid under the scheme, which covered 2,703 claims, an average of around £ 35,500 per claim.
